Parents discover how to help their teenagers accept themselves, become independent, and grow into responsible adults with this guide to the journey every child takes through adolescence into adulthood. Interviews with more than 100 parents and teens help define the dos and don'ts of parenting a teenager—from validating a teen's feelings and compromising to stopping inflexible rules and talking with teens on their terms. Forty individual essays are organized around five topics: letting go, keeping in touch, exploring, acquiring skills, and connecting, providing parents with a better understanding of the puzzling teenage years.
In his new video presentation, noted psychologist James T. Webb, Ph.D., discusses how technology and other changes in today's ever-evolving world have made parenting even more difficult.

All the ideas are easy for parents to implement into everyday living. This video is an excellent resource for both schools and parent groups.
