Resumen del Editor

Establish wise and loving limits that make a positive difference in your teen, in the rest of your family, and in you.

The teen years: relationships, peer pressure, school, dating, character. To help teenagers grow into healthy adults, parents and youth workers need to teach them how to take responsibility for their behavior, their values, and their lives.

From best-selling author and counselor Dr. John Townsend, Boundaries with Teens is the expert insight and guidance you need to help your teens take responsibility for their actions, attitudes, and emotions and gain a deeper appreciation and respect both for you and for themselves.

With wisdom and empathy, Dr. Townsend applies biblically based principles for the challenging task of guiding your children through the teen years. Using the same principles he used to successfully raise two teens, he shows you how to:

• Deal with disrespectful attitudes and impossible behavior in your teen
• Set healthy limits and realistic consequences
• Be loving and caring while establishing rules
• Determine specific strategies to deal with problems both big and small

Discover how boundaries make parenting teens better today!

Unmatched chapters

Overall the message was great, I took a lot from the book. I got this due to a church group that started a book club to better help our teens. We didn't read the chapters in order so it was extremely difficult and time consuming to find the chapter within the hour long chapts the book is broken into. It will hold 3+ actual chapters within the chapter its labeled. I would not finish this book if it wasn't for the book club I'm in. Because of this, I don't know if I would personally listen to the other books he has.

Loved his message

In the beginning of the book thought I won’t start learning what the title was about but it did eventually. There so much content on how to help parents with smaller children that teens doesn’t get much insight but found this book to be extremely helpful.

Help With Your Teen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, for anyone who has a teen. This book has given me good ideas and kept me focus on developing my child for his future growth.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

It is important to talk to your child with respect even when you are disciplining him and he gives real life examples of how to do that in various challenging aspects

Great book!

This book is a must for parents. As in anything, be open-minded and go for the wisdom you can get. Be a student, not a follower.

Excellent teen parent source

Listening to the book was like hearing a relatable friend. Real scenarios, informative content, well organized and extremely thorough!
