Practical Parenting

If you are struggling with communicating with your teen (and if you have a normal teen then you MUST be having at least SOME struggles), then you are going to appreciate the practical approach to this book. Dr. Keefauver covers the reasons for breakdowns in communications, mistakes parents make and how to avoid them, how to repair the relationship or improve it in this new stage of their lives, and many more vital aspects you need to know if you want a close relationship with your child. Dr. Keefauver even tells you exactly what to say and how to say it for those of us who don't want to have to figure it out for ourselves for fear we'll get it wrong. It is full of examples to illustrate every aspect of the journey back to the heart of your child and back into your child's life as a trusted confidant and/or sympathetic ear. This is a book of hope for parents of teens! A MUST READ!!!!!
