As always Kenneth Ginsburg brings useful information

Positive and Practical
As a professional in the field, I approach parenting books skeptically, but this one is absolutely fantastic. The author uses a strength-based approach, debunking unhelpful myths that keep families from engaging with each other helpfully and developmentally during the adolescent years. I have a small group of books that are my go-to’s for recommendations—and this just made the list.

Refreshing Positive Perspective on Raising Teens; Fantastic Guidance for Parents
Congrats – You’re Having a Teen provides a refreshing perspective on the value of having a positive mindset about the astounding growth that happens during the teen years. I loved Dr. Ginsburg’s viewpoint on why we should strive to be “lighthouse” parents guiding our children to become wonderful caring adults. So much incredible wisdom about how to effectively parent teens. I hope everyone who parents a teen or cares about teens will read this book. Highly recommended!

Great mom gift
I gifted this to a mom of twin boys turning 13! She loves it. She plans to read it with her husband to enlighten them both.
