For many women, having a baby girl is a dream come true. But as girls grow up, the narrative of innocence and joy changes to one of dread as moms are told, "Just wait until she's a teenager!" Author, blogger, and mom to four daughters Kari Kampakis thinks it's time to change the narrative that leads moms to parent teen girls with a spirit of defeat instead of strength. Love Her Well isn't a guide to help mothers "fix" their daughters or make them behave. It's about a mom's journey, doing the heart-work necessary to love a teenager while still being a steady, supportive parent.

Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn’t work or simply doesn’t feel good, have embraced Dr. Becky’s empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritizes connecting with our kids over correcting them. Parents have long been sold a model of childrearing that simply doesn’t work. From reward charts to time outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behavior, not raising humans.

In Hold On to Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction - for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested.

Publisher's summary
"There are times when parenting seems nothing more than feeding the mouth that bites you." (Peter De Vries)
Parenting teenagers can be hard. Maybe you already know that. The question is, does adolescence really need to be a frustrating time for parents and teenagers? If your child isn't a teenager yet, can you make preparations now to avoid many of the pitfalls parents of adolescents go through? With so much information and differing viewpoints, how can a parent really know that they are "doing it right"?
In Feeding the Mouth That Bites You, Dr. Ken Wilgus outlines a clear and practical path through the confusion of parenting adolescents in today's world. Engaging, accessible, and funny, Feeding the Mouth That Bites You summarizes Dr. Wilgus's best teachings on how to parent teenagers, collected over 25 years of work with adolescents and their families as well as two decades of teaching on parenting.
Though trends and technology will always change, the adolescent need for autonomy remains the one foundational issue that is the largest obstacle to a healthy parent/teenager relationship. Feeding the Mouth That Bites You explains this need and the effect it has on a wide range of teenage behavior. Dr. Wilgus clearly outlines his method for safely and effectively meeting this need: Planned Emancipation. Once parents clearly understand adolescents' needs and know how to respond, parenting a teenager becomes much less frustrating. Even their teenagers join in to help out!
Knowing what your teenager needs and being able to provide for that need is truly the art of Feeding the Mouth That Bites You.

In Hold On to Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction - for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested.

Thought Provoking
Planned Emancipation makes sense if you have teens & you’ve taught them obedience...I’m not sure I’ll implement all ideas provided by the author, but he definitely makes some good points. I had my husband listen with me. Not only did he need to hear these things, but he can remind me to back off when needed.

Incredible
This book is nothing short of incredible. It articulates what I knew to be true as a teen and now what we are struggling with as parents.

Must read if you have teens!
This is just what I needed for this phase of my parenting. Great for parents with teens. It's the next step as kids go from children to adolescents. No fuss, no heavy jargon, straightforward insights into teens. Scientific backing to thought patters, applicable strategies, good mix of fact, action, and anecdotal stories. Yes, this author actually has his own teens!! Will read again, and probably buy a hard copy to highlight, it was that good!

Must read for anyone dealing with teens
This book offers beautiful perspective, precise actionable steps and practical reasoning to successfully parent teens. I feel like parenting teens has been the hardest thing I have ever done. One down and launched to college, one still at home. Watching my college student make the mistakes has really prompted me to find a better way with the one I still have at home. I will definitely be putting these things into practice to plan emancipation more successfully.
