This book has become an invaluable resource for allowing parents a window into the thoughts and emotions of their teens. Dr. Wolf does a wonderful job of explaining the gaps in communication and understanding that transpire on a daily (or more) basis without placing blame on either the parent or child. The reality is that teenagers, especially in this day and age, are struggling to straddle the line between childhood and adulthood. They face an overwhelming set of challenges in trying to balance expectations of peers, parents, and those placed by themselves. Further complicating matters, is the loss of ability to think beyond choices that will fill them with an immediate sense of competence. The more parents can understand these, as well as other, elements of adolescent development the easier it will be to maintain a sense of connection to their teens. This is not always an easy task. Thus, parents should feel comfortable to reach out for support from family, friends, therapists, etc. Ultimately, as Dr. Wolf highlights, parents who are able to whether the storm while balancing the teen's need for structure with the need for increased independence will ultimately see their teenagers become thriving, happy, caring, responsible young adults.
