Christians often focus so much on being loving and giving that they forget their own limits and limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering: Can I set limits and still be a loving person? How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries?

Between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important and often maddening ways. It’s no wonder that many parents approach their child’s adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel, however, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another. In Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development affects teenagers’ behaviour and relationships.

Every child goes through difficult phases, and occasional annoying or defiant behaviors are normal. However, if your child is extremely irritable, spiteful, or defiant, they may be suffering from ODD. ODD is short for oppositional defiant disorder. There is no specific factor that causes it - it just happens in about three in 100 kids. ODD can be managed with therapy and medication, but simply adapting your parenting strategies is the most effective treatment. This audiobook will show you how to do this!

A must listen for parents with child.
- By Emily Sanders on 21-03-20
Summary
Establish wise and loving limits that make a positive difference in your teen, in the rest of your family, and in you.
The teen years: relationships, peer pressure, school, dating, character. To help teenagers grow into healthy adults, parents and youth workers need to teach them how to take responsibility for their behavior, their values, and their lives.
From best-selling author and counselor Dr. John Townsend, Boundaries with Teens is the expert insight and guidance you need to help your teens take responsibility for their actions, attitudes, and emotions and gain a deeper appreciation and respect both for you and for themselves.
With wisdom and empathy, Dr. Townsend applies biblically based principles for the challenging task of guiding your children through the teen years. Using the same principles he used to successfully raise two teens, he shows you how to:
- Deal with disrespectful attitudes and impossible behavior in your teen
- Set healthy limits and realistic consequences
- Be loving and caring while establishing rules
- Determine specific strategies to deal with problems both big and small
Discover how boundaries make parenting teens better today!
Plus, check out the Boundaries family collection of books dedicated to key areas of life - dating, marriage, raising young kids, and leadership. Workbooks and Spanish editions are also available.

Difference maker
Extremely helpful in understanding teens and proding you to recall your own issues while you were a teen. This, along with advice given, help you to deal with your child in more realistic ways than you might have before putting all these points of view together. Advice given is well thought out, gleaned from experience, and based in Christianity. The book is not a Christian book, however, he makes no effort to hide reminding you the way God wants us to raise our children. Excellent book, a must for all parents. I wish I found this when my child was headed to middle school.

A must resource for pre-teen parents!
Candidly, I found this book at times painful as I learned about the ways that I was lacking as a parent; however, that’s also precisely why I value this audiobook so much and feel a world of gratitude to Dr. John Townsend. Not only was the material interesting, the counsel is practical and invaluable. The only thing that would have made this audiobook better is if the audiobook chapters matched the chapters in the book. Since I listen while I drive, it will be very difficult to go back and find information as one audiobook chapter includes multiple chapters in the printed book. I am going to purchase a hard copy because I value this book so much. Jay Charles did a great job of narrating this book and kept me engaged.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. Anyone struggling to understand their teen and how to guide them in the right direction need to read this book. As parents we sometimes go into fear mode and panic. Understanding your teen and connecting gives you the best advantage to administer advice... advice they will listen to.
