Sacred Flight of the Teenager A Parent's Guide to Stepping Back and Letting Go

Parents discover how to help their teenagers accept themselves, become independent, and grow into responsible adults with this guide to the journey every child takes through adolescence into adulthood. Interviews with more than 100 parents and teens help define the dos and don'ts of parenting a teenager--from validating a teen's feelings and compromising to stopping inflexible rules and talking with teens on their terms. Forty individual essays are organized around five topics: letting go, keeping in touch, exploring, acquiring skills, and connecting, providing parents with a better understanding of the puzzling teenage years.Kuczmarski, Susan Smith is the author of 'Sacred Flight of the Teenager A Parent's Guide to Stepping Back and Letting Go', published 2004 under ISBN 9780967781730 and ISBN 0967781736.
