The Good Enough Teen

Rather than have you brace yourself for your offspring's adolescence with your eyes shut and jaw clenched, The Good Enough Teen will help you to understand the invisible transformation your teen is experiencing, as well as the ways in which your own adolescence intimately influences this understanding. Respected psychologist Dr. Brad Sachs helps you to recognize your unrealistic expectations for your teenager and to love, accept, and nurture him or her - not just in spite of, but because of, his or her imperfections. With prescriptive tools and problem-solving strategies, including checklists, quizzes, and exercises, and numerous revealing case studies from Dr. Sachs's own practice, The Good Enough Teen is vital help for any parent with a teenager.
