Synopsis from bakerpublishinggroup.com

"I want my daughter to make wise choices, but I'm so afraid she won't."

"I feel like I'm losing control. My son always has to have the last word."

"My daughter and I have always been so close, but now she seems to be pulling away."

"I have a good relationship with my teens but everyone says, 'just wait until . . . .' Do the teen years have to be awful?"

Fear, frustration, guilt, loneliness, confusion, and those what ifs . . .

"What if I've already messed up my kid?" "What if she turns out like me?" "What if he rejects God?" "What if he gets into drugs?" "What if she doesn't get into the right college?"

If you have questions like these, Susan Alexander Yates, best-selling author of And Then I Had Kids, has guidance and encouragement for you. Drawing from her experience raising five teenagers, Yates walks you through everything from preparing for the teen years to letting your teens go. Her insight will help you to create open communication, set limits, understand what's normal (and what's not!), take advantage of peer pressure, build your teens' faith, and much more.
