She has written a parent's guide to raising teens called Loving Firmness: Successfully Raising Teenagers Without Losing Your Mind (Mapletree Publishing, 0-9728071-6-0). .... She uses experiences with her own children and acknowledges that there are no perfect answers, although following parameters (no matter how difficult) will ultimately help reduce strife.

HEAVEN HELP US: BE HAPPY SANDWICHES
As life expectancy in American society increases, more and more people will find themselves sandwiched between meeting the necessities of aging parents and dealing with spouses, children and/or grandchildren. Human beings enter this life needing to be fed, diapered, and protected and they leave it the same way!

Watching the aging of people you’ve always counted on is a heart wrenching experience. But it’s one each of us must face; we can’t just hope things will get better–time doesn’t stop for anyone or anything.

I need your input for my book in progress: HEAVEN HELP US: BE HAPPY SANDWICHES

I want the book to provide insight, support, and inspiration for those tens of millions of people whose loved ones are losing their ability to cope with life on their own. I need hints about gauging the necessity for intervention, strengthening family bonds and securing cooperation, selecting appropriate living situations for each of the last stages of life, and, throughout it all, maintaining the dignity every person deserves.

This little boy, born in Beaver, Utah on August 19, 1906, accomplished one of the most astonishing things in history; he invented television and he changed the world.
