Wonderful Ways to Love a Teen: Even When It Seems Impossible

The author of Wonderful Ways to Be a Family shares sixty practical ways to build a loving bond between you and your teenager.

While there are a lot of highs to parenting, there are plenty of challenges, particularly when it comes to teens. While we were all teenagers once, we often can’t understand what our own teens are going through. But there are certain habits you can pick up that can make the teen years easier for both you and your child.

Just because your relationship with your teen looks different doesn’t mean it’s any less meaningful. The shifts that come may seem unwelcome at first, but as you learn to adapt and respond in a way that connects with your teen rather than pushes them further away, the changes are easier to work through. Recognizing that you’re growing and learning as you go, it’s important to understand boundaries with teens, and give them the space to do their own growing.

With gentle wisdom and a healthy dose of good humor, Ford guides parents and teenagers through one of the most difficult times in parenting. Learn how to shift the focus from the hardships and the mishaps to the joys and heartfelt moments.
