As usual, the authors address all the topics in this book through practical cases and written and illustrated dialogues for scenarios that take place between a parent and a teenager. They also include practical exercises that the parents practice while reading this book, which makes learning the material in this book extremely easy and practical for the reader. The authors of this book, as we mentioned earlier, are two psychologists with a wide reputation in the world of parenting and communication between adults and children, throughout the United States of America.

In this book, the authors, through years of research, lecturing, and advising, have developed an innovative method for fostering open, honest, and respectful dialogue between parents and their teens. These strategies reduce the chances of conflict and frustration, and encourage ongoing communication about all issues facing both parties, whether they relate to homecoming time, school performance, sex, or drug use. The authors pave the way for parents—from traditional concerns (bad friends, dating the opposite sex) to contemporary ones (frivolous parties and nights out, cyber threats)—to address the problems they face before they spiral out of control. Through their clear, warm, and friendly style, the authors guide families on how to communicate and create a supportive environment for each other during the turbulent teenage years.
