ORCHESTRATING RESCUE
AND RECOVERY
This chapter reviews and builds on what you've learned in the previous chapters,
and it will show you how to administer rescue and recovery (R and R) operations for
your misbehaving teenager, if you happen to have one. The same concepts and
principles apply to guiding teenagers who are basically behaving themselves.
Every fortress must maintain a carefully designed rescue and recovery strategy, and your family fortress is no exception.
The seven essential strategies of R and R work in concert.
Your rescue and recovery plan involves seven essential strategies of R and R that must occur simultaneously, constantly, consistently, persistently, and relentlessly-- in concert--as you seek to rescue and recover your children or preserve your children.

up with...
rudeness
selfishness
extreme sloppiness
dishonesty
disloyalty
irresponsibility
tantrums
chemical abuse
or with those who...
often search for loopholes
refuse to listen
