Wonderful news for worried moms and dads! "Parents can raise great teens without the fear of storm and stress, " say Gary Ezzo and Dr. Robert Bucknam. These parenting experts and bestselling authors explain that parents need not expect rebellion and conflict during their children''s adolescence. The authors offer practical how-to''s for building a positive relationship that leads to teen years marked by excitement, respect, and smooth family interaction. They show that the key is learning to build bridges to your teen''s heart, creating a strong family fabric that lasts well beyond the difficult teenage years.

A biblically-sound handbook for raising teens who can successfully survive adolescence in the 90s, Reaching the Heart of Your Teen effectively reminds moms and dads how to parent from the heart and build solid relationships that are rewarding. Holding fast to the conviction that relationships between parents and children aren''t limited to eighteen years-but can last a lifetime-Ezzo teaches how to build quality relationships that endure. Reaching the Heart of Your Teen is filled with practical examples to help moms and dads build bridges that will help them reach and establish lasting relationships with their teens.

It''s reality-check time! You''re at least four months into your tour of parenting, and the complexities of child training are starting to multiply. While your baby is growing physically, his mind is adapting with ever-increasing awareness to new sights, sounds, sensations and relationships. He can now interact with his material universe withgreater attentiveness. Watch out: big changes are coming to his world and yours! Preserving the order and structure that brought security to your baby''s day, peaceful sleep in your baby''s nights and stability in your home is still the priority, but now it must be viewed through a new developmental lens. For example, feeding time is more than a biological response initiated by a baby''s sucking reflex. For the five-month-old, meal times become a complex and conscious interaction between him and his parents, food and drink, preference and need, likes and dislikes, must dos and won''t dos!

As the parent of an eight-to-twelve-year-old, you face the challenge of two transitions: your child''s and your own. Suddenly he''s sensitive. More independent. She''s changing physically. Questioning...and often finding answers on her own.
