Parenting Teenagers Is Hard. How Do You Know If You’re Doing It Right?

Many parents struggle in raising their teens because they fail to transition from seeing them as children to seeing them as adults-in-training. Progressively giving teens more control over their lives reduces stress and prepares your teen for maturity as an adult.

In Feeding the Mouth that Bites You, Dr. Ken Wilgus outlines a clear path to help parent teens in today’s world. Engaging, accessible, and based on Dr. Wilgus’ thirty-five years of clinical family work, teaching on parenting―and successfully raising three teens of his own―you’ll find this guide immensely practical. Learn what your teen needs and why they act the way they do so that you can reduce your frustrations and thoughtfully guide them. You’ll also discover how to:

• help them to grow in responsibility and prepare them to launch into the real world
• reduce conflict and maintain good communications
• set clear, reasonable limits without provoking fights
• manage tough issues like school, alcohol use, dating, etc., and more!

Amazing content

Helpful, practical, and so insightful! Every parent would benefit from this book. I’m recommending to everyone I know with kids.

Good read

This book suggests excellent principles in parenting teens. Very insightful! A definite must read for parents with teenagers.

Great advice for teen parents

Easy listen and lots of great ideas! Thanks for making it seem a little easier.

Life changing!

This book will be revolutionary in my parenting! I’ve take a few parenting classes and read several books, but this approach to parenting is exactly what I think will work with my strong-willed 13-year-old son. I love that I can refer to the YouTube channel and podcast to hone in on exactly what I need when issues and challenges arise. I’m going to “read” it again and take notes this time so I can come up with a plan to implement right away. My son is already ready for a few of the freedoms and that makes me so excited for him!

Planned Emancipations

A must for parents with teens!

I loved the outlook on "Planned Emancipation": Freedoms, Responsibilities & Consequencess for teenagers. Equiping our teenagers to stand on their own.
