My Take on the Book
What I loved most about this book was how practical and how easy it was to understand the concepts that were being shared. The author has laid out so many great ideas for how best you can connect with your child while avoiding the pitfalls and arguments that many times come in the teenage years. As I mentioned the book was very easy to understand and implement and as my daughter gets ready to enter her tween years I know that this book will be an extremely valuable resource for me!
