Parenting Beyond the Rules *****by Connie Albers
This is an encouraging book about how parents can help teens succeed and keep their sanity, too. Connie Albers writes a very practical book including questions at the end of each chapter for parents to think about.
She covers a wide range of topics in the book from helping parents understand their teen's world to talking about tough topics like terrorism to addressing fears that parents have in raising teens.
I appreciated the positive tone of the book and the challenge to parents to celebrate the teen years rather than dread them. I'm really hoping I can enjoy these years with my girls. I will use this book as a reference tool and look back at it as things arise. The book has too much information to absorb in one reading.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
