Must Read!!

This is eye opening and extremely helpful for parenting teens. While it’s from 2019, it doesn’t has the Covid issues incorporated, it is still very relevant. As a parent of three very different children, the book explains the best approach for each type of kid.

Highly recommend!

What a powerful and relevant perspective on the life of a teenager today, and how we as their parents can guide and give as they move forward toward adulthood. There were times in part one that a sense of hopelessness came over me as the challenges kids face now seem so overwhelming and even unbearable. However, I also felt a great sense of empathy for my teenagers. Part 2 provides very practical ways to be better as a parent and support system while also providing the hard and necessary truth that it will require great effort on our part in relationship building or mending as some situations would have it. There is so much I’m missing in this review! Just read it! You won’t regret it ❤️

Real and relevant

Relevant to today’s teen. Helpful and practical wisdom. Good insight to emotional teen- parent healthy relationships. Will listen multiple times. Laughed out loud several times, especially when mentions sometimes we just don’t like them. Insight into their emotional needs and challenges and how to initiate persistent ongoing conversations.

The best book on parenting teens

Listening to this book was like hearing someone explain everything I've thought, tried and struggled with my daughter. The author clearly explains what parents are thinking and why they approach issues a certain way and how their kids interpret these actions. Without judgement and with great insight, the author gives lots of told and ideas as to how to repair a broken relationship. Excellent book!

Content good, narrator not so much

Really appreciated the advice. Great stuff, but probably would be better to read a hard copy to see the lists, etc.

The narration felt (tone, voice, style) felt patronizing. And you can't visit the chapters, just the 3 main parts. So to go back to something, it's a ton of work. And that's something u usually need to do in a self help book. Lazy on someone's part, but likely not the actual author's fault.
