The teenage years are such a challenge, but this book offers helpful and effective advice on how to get through it. I found the chapter about boundary setting to be the most enlightening and immediately applicable, but I also appreciated that the author took time to discuss early diagnosis and treatment for mental illness. One of the most common questions I have as a parent is "Is this developmetally appropriate behavior, or should I be concerned?", and I feel like this book addresses this subject very well.

I was feeling lost about how to communicate with my teenager, and this audiobook came at the perfect time. The seven steps are easy to follow, and the examples made it easy to see how I could use them in everyday conversations. I liked that the focus wasn’t just on getting your teen to listen but also on how parents can improve their listening skills. I’ve already noticed less conflict and more understanding between us. If you’re looking for ways to bridge the communication gap, this book offers practical and insightful advice.

This book is one I wish I had earlier. Having raised teenagers, I had to learn while doing and while making my way in the parenting jungle. This book has clarified a lot for me – things I did well and those I could have done better. These practical tips are clearly explained and really easy to follow.

I especially love the advice on self-care that the author provides in Chapter 4. She makes it so easy to do – having a quiet cup of tea, taking moments for a short walk, playing your favourite sport... So helpful!

As a social worker, I’m always looking for practical, evidence-based tools to recommend to parents, and this book is one of them. The book does a great job breaking down teenage behavior and offering straightforward advice that parents can actually use. There are sections on active listening and building trust are especially helpful. I like how it guides parents to give them the tools to be independent adults. It includes how to manage social media, which is so important in this day and age. This book is great and I will be recommending it to my clients.
