Editorial Reviews

With parenting audios like this, one never knows whether to relax and enjoy or start taking notes. The two parenting celebrities are in rare form--reading alternately and being thoroughly comforting in a wise-woman sort of way. If you and your teen hate each other, they'll reassure you that you’re not alone and that this too shall pass. The message is that predictable structure and high expectations are important and that time for uncritical sharing is essential. Delivering exactly what it promises, this audio is a mature lesson that will both relax and stimulate anyone going through the running-on-ice experience of raising a teenager.
