Adolescence is often a time of great stress and turmoil—not only for kids going through it, but for you, their parents as well.

Inside, you'll:
·Find out how to encourage your teen and yourself
·Grow to understand how your teen still needs you, but in different ways
·Learn how to get to know who your teen really is
·Discover how to develop sound judgment without being judgmental
