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?

Summary
Teenagers - you love them to pieces, but sometimes you feel like the pieces are falling apart. Look no further for the help you need. Boundaries with Teens will help you 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 bestselling 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 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.

Great advice
I love John Townsend and his down to earth, reasonable advice. I’m making my way through all of his books. He is a sure and guiding lighthouse in the rough seas of parenting. Great narration too. Thank you.

Practical and Effective
Following the advice in this book will not only keep your teens on the right track, but force you to be an adult and deal with you own demons. Well worth the time and a good book to read periodically.

A MUST FOR PARENTS!!!
An absolute excellent tool to understand what happened to your child, and how to handle it, when it turned overnight to something you don't know anymore. Very helpful - An absolute MUST for Parents of Teens, and Pre-Teens in my opinion!
Very detailed and touches most of the problems parents and adolescence will face.
Thanks a lot Dr. Townsend

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.

Lots of great ideas but too religious
The author provides many practical suggestions.
There were a lot of suggestions to pray and references to Jesus. This may not be applicable or inspiring to readers. Worst case, readers may find it offensive.

Unsure of advice
It seemed the writer addressed girls more instead of saying him/her. When talking about behavioral issues and issues with insecurities the author would say "her" or "your daughter. As if girls are more problematic.

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.
