People are doing the best they can.
People want to improve. People need to do better, try harder, and be more motivated to change. People may not have caused all of their own problems, AND they have to solve them anyway. New behavior has to be learned in all relevant contexts. All behaviors (actions, thoughts, emotions) are caused. Figuring out and changing the causes of behavior work better than judging and blaming. There is no absolute truth. It is more effective to take things in a well meaning way than to assume the worse. Group members (teens and caregivers) cannot fail in group. The lives of group members are painful as they are being lived.

Willfulness is like sitting on your hands when action is needed, refusing to make changes that are needed.
Willfulness is about the desire to be right in a situation, regardless of what is needed to get through effectively. Willfulness causes you to fight any suggestions that will improve the distress and thus make it more tolerable. Willfulness is being rigid and inflexible. It is the opposite of doing what works, of being effective. Willfulness is trying to fix every situation or refusing to tolerate the distressful moment.
