If you have a teenager and are a Christian, I recommend this book. Things are different for teens now because of the bombardment of social media. When I was a kid, all the drama of school....stayed at school. There was no snapchat/facebook/instagram to broadcast my awkward teen years. If home is nothing but nagging about grades/housework...etc, there is no refuge from the storm and teens will withdraw to people who understand them (ie, their peers). Modern parents therefore MUST focus on the relationship with their teen. This is nothing new if you are into Love and Logic or TBRI, but if you are stuck in traditional consequence based parenting and it isn't working, this can be another tool in your tool box.
