Excerpts from the book, "Raising a Sane and Successful Teen" by the author, Mary Ann Maggiore.
Giving space, time and support to endeavors that make your young person unique and prepare him or her for a strong place in the “real” world.
Finding a new definition for your teen and for yourself.
Looking at “other” aspects of life – supporting dreams, expanding visions.
Beyond the “You are your child’s first teacher” to “You are your young person’s first guide”
Everything you wished someone had told you and how to tell it.
Keeping your young person healthy, out of danger and out of jail.
Saving money, being sociable, learning basic housekeeping
Face it, you need them to pitch in and they need the practice.
How to cool off the tough moments and when to call in help.
Easy steps that will lead to successful independence.
Developing clever ways to keep you both on an upward spiral.
The quickest way to frame a path for your teen that can make them good and keep them safe
The uneasy road to doing parenting differently and how I chose my own path.
