Fantastic resource
I can’t recommend this audiobook enough! It’s packed with practical tips that are easy to follow and immediately useful. As a parent of two teenagers, I really appreciated the emphasis on improving communication and reducing conflict in everyday situations. The advice on balancing independence and setting boundaries has already made a noticeable difference in our home. What really stood out were the real-life examples that made it easier to see how to apply these ideas in my own family. If you're feeling frustrated or just want to strengthen your bond with your teen, this is an invaluable guide!

Tools for Parenting Success
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.
