In our journey of parenting teens, we have all hit bumps in the road. Some of us might have had a hard time finding the balance between having an authoritative voice while not being too strict that they turn their nose up at us or always feel they are in the wrong. We may also be struggling with how to give them room to be autonomous and still provide supervision since it is often difficult for adolescents to figure life out on their own. As a parent, you want them to succeed and learn good ways to see the world and make good decisions, but sometimes you are confused about how to draw these lines of what is acceptable and what is not. You may have some great ideas about how you would like to parent your child (for instance, give him or her freedom with the hope that they will use it well). But, in reality they are just ideas. In this audiobook I will help you find out what works for your family and your children by sharing the insights and experiences of other families who have been there, done that.
