Shifting from Control and Conflict to Structure and Nurture to Raise Accountable Young Adults

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

By shifting one's mindset from a struggle for control to a framework of structure, nurture, and support, this book will show parents that they can not only survive their children's teenage years, but also enjoy this remarkable stage of change and prepare them for adulthood. Adolescence can be a tumultuous time for both teens and parents, but it is also an amazing developmental phase that can deepen, rather than damage, parent-child relationships.
