Publisher's summary

Help your child navigate the teenage years and become a mature adult.

The transition from childhood to adulthood is hard for everyone. Physical changes - on the inside as well as the outside - make for a lot of ups and downs. The teenage years are turbulent, no question about it. But, if you’re a parent or caregiver, don’t despair. There’s a way through!

Gary Chapman, beloved author of The 5 Love Languages®, has raised two kids of his own, so he knows what it’s like to ride the roller coaster of parenting teens. Now, he combines the hard-earned wisdom of a parent with the expertise of a counselor to help you know what to look out for. You’ll learn:

  • That teens are still developing the ability to think logically
  • That teens need to learn how to apologize and forgive
  • And, most importantly, that a parent’s example is more important that their words

Though the years ahead will be demanding, you don’t have to feel helpless. Let Gary Chapman point the way you as you guide your child through this challenging yet rewarding new stage of life.

Must read for parents of young adults!!

I am not only going to be telling all my parent friends to read this book, I'm also going to get the paper copy, take notes and reference often.
If you're looking for a tween/teen parenting guide, look no further! This hits so many of the most important parenting challenges and things we as millenials didn't have to deal with growing up. FANTASTIC book and I'll be re reading for many years!
