Praise and Reviews
As the parents of 3 adolescents with some significant cultural
struggles, this book was is so helpful in changing our parenting
techniques from being the authorities to being more "consultants."
There's an incredible relief when the responsibility for making
decisions belongs to the teen, and the consequences of the decisions
also belongs to the teen. I recommend this book as training in
parenting for those of us who think we know how to raise teens, but
find our teens are struggling, and it's clear we DON'T know how to do
it..
