How Parents Can Really Help Their Teenagers Thrive

This book will help parents navigate the tricky terrain of both guiding teenagers and letting them find their own way. The process is a two-way street and requires a shift in perspective, and effort from both the parent and the teen. The healthy relationship you will have with your teen is worth it.

Larry and Tony take parents step-by-step on this journey. Each of the six parts of this book illuminates a different aspect of the teen’s path toward adulthood and how parents can help:

• Part 1—The current reality of parents and teens
• Part 2—A deeper look at the parental vision
• Part 3—The teen’s internal truths
• Part 4—Tools needed to rebuild the connection
• Part 5—Most common challenges
• Part 6—Coaching methodology
