The conflict between different generations.

I have a teen brother myself, the book helps me understand why different generations do/ think things differently. The writer analysis is well explained. But i think I really need some time and adjustments to implement the ways she suggested! Good book!

Helpful social media guide

The part about this book that I found to be the most helpful was the social media tips. Social media wasn't that big of a part of my life when I was growing up. But now there is so much social media out there. I get how to use Facebook (and I understood MySpace when that was around! ha!), but there are so many other sites out there that I just don't get. But this book helped me understand better what is out there and how to help my teen build healthy boundaries on the internet.

A Book for Everyone who has a Teenager
