Adolescence is often a time of great stress and turmoil—not only for kids going through it, but for you, their parents as well. During the teen years, kids aggressively begin to explore a new sense of freedom, which often leads to feelings of resentment and powerlessness for parents who increasingly are excluded from their children's lives.

Inside, you'll:

• Find out how to encourage your teen and yourself
• Grow to understand how your teen still needs you, but in different ways
• Learn how to get to know who your teen really is
• Discover how to develop sound judgment without being judgmental
• Learn how to use follow-through—the only surefire way to get chores done
