Description
Book SynopsisBy shifting one's mindset from a struggle for control to a framework of structure, nurture, and support, this book will show parents that they can not only survive their children's teenage years, but also enjoy this remarkable stage of change and prepare them for adulthood. Adolescence can be a tumultuous time for both teens and parents, but it is also an amazing developmental phase that can deepen, rather than damage, parent-child relationships.

This book is a gift not only for parents but for anyone seeking to connect with and understand teens." -- Kim Messier, wife of NHL hockey legend Mark Messier "Darby Fox reconciles both the practical and spiritual aspects of what it means to be a parent in the 21st century. This is not a parenting book. This is a manual for a more uplifting future." -- Habib Sadeghi, DO, author of The Clarity Cleanse
