10 Best Gifts For Your Teen

$13.95

Patt and Steve Saso navigated all the parenting perils from infancy to preteen insecurity, but nothing could prepare them for the unpredictability of adolescence.

In their Award-winning Book, the Sasos offer sage advice to help families maintain strong relationships through the often-turbulent teenage years. The book teaches parents how to relate when needed, and to relent when necessary, offering support without infringing on their teenagers burgeoning sense of freedom.

In this dispatch from the parenting trenches, the Saso's share personal and professional anecdotes, detailing what adolescents want and need from their parents for emotional support. Teenagers will test the limits. Parents will make mistakes, but no matter how distant and resentful they appear to be, or how disrespectful of parental authority, teenagers internalize their parents' words and actions.

With 10 Best Gifts For Your Teen—which include respect, room, role-modeling, responsibility and reconciliation—the Saso's have given a gift to parents across the country who want their teenager's transition from childhood to adulthood to be a smooth and rewarding one.

"I'm glad I read these words of wisdom before my girls became teens!" —Richard Carlson author of the best seller Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

"The Saso's have written a terrific guide for parents wading through the muddy waters of raising teens. As a high school guidance counselor, I have recommended this book to many parents, and have had great response both from the parents and their teens. A great way to narrow down the point of conversation with your teen and make some mutually agreeable progress. Teens feel respected by the way this book characterizes their needs. Parents feel supported in their need to find common ground with their teens. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with teens."
— Maureen Kerr, High School Counselor, from San Jose, CA
