Two point eight million teenagers have had at least one major depressive episode in their lives. Is your child one of them? Between trying to establish an identity, become more independent, discover their sexuality, take more social risks, and even experiment with alcohol and drugs, this period in your teen's life comes at a high emotional and mental cost. But behind all the natural turmoil of the teenage years may hide a bigger and more treacherous problem that, if left unresolved, can lead to devastating consequences.

An great tool to tackle those tough discussions
This is without a doubt an excellent tool to help understand our kids as they navigate the tricky teenage years. There are so many important conversations to be had during this time, and I've found this book most helpful in finding tricks to avoid conversational faux pas. Very interesting, I would definitely recommend a listen if you have children or care for teenagers.

Parenting Teenagers Book!
You have children, teenagers, and you don't really know how to raise them, talk to them, make them listen to you. This book is for you. And everyone knows how hard it is to raise children these days. Whether for parents or in-laws.
The chapters give information on how to start an important conversation with the child, school, choosing the right friends without being toxic, house rules, dating, etc.
And the chapter I enjoyed the most, chapter 8 on money. As an entrepreneur, I have found it important to talk about finances because it is not taught in school. Show them the electricity bill, the mortgage. And don't buy them a cell phone, let him work to pay for it so that the child understands the responsibilities, becoming an adult. Also, talk about the credit score.
Overall, this is a great book for parents. I recommand it. Teach the right things and be proud of your child.

Best book for those who are raising teens!
All the chapters are indispensable. The narrator really brought the audiobook to life, enabling the listener to grasp the insights into raising teens. A lot of times, society forget that teens are humans that need guidance and love from their parents and guardians. Look at that WS teen that went into that supermarket in Buffalo, NY last Saturday (May 14) and murdered 10 people who were mostly African American. He lived with his parents and/or other family members and did that. Details of his family are still unfolding, but the parents or guardians of that teen needed a book like this. Take heed, cause the contents within this book can change you and your teens' life when put into practice. It could not only make all the difference in the world, but could mean the difference between life and death!
