Adolescence may be easier for parents if they follow the advice of Corrie Lynne Player, who has a Master's in education from Stanford and has raised nine children of her own and more than forty troubled foster children. 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.

LOVING FIRMNESS: Successfully Raising Teenagers without Losing Your Mind

Teenagers are part adult, part child, and part alien. "Loving Firmness" discusses connecting with your child, teaching self-control, and learning to talk to each other, as well as preparing your child for life and teaching a work ethic.

If you want to learn how one family successfully (but not easily) produced happy, well-adjusted adults from a bunch of flaky teenagers, buy this entertaining, yet useful book, which was released July 2006 by Maple Tree Publishing. Nobody has all the answers, but a reliance on faith and a sense of humor will give you the tools to meet your toughest challenges.
