Review # 1 was written on 2018-04-17 00:00:00 Brian Boss This was a book on "the softer side" of parenting, focusing mostly on positive things you can do to foster your relationship with your teen. Some things were obvious like spending time with them and pointing out positive things. Other things weren't so obvious like watching your moods and making sure you are training your older teen to take on adult responsibilities. If you're like me, sometimes you just forget that they're a year older and can do ____ on their own now. I just got my own kids washing dishes- a long time a-coming! One thing I liked and copied from the book was the "anger ladder." It lists out the progression from immature anger to mature anger, which gives you a good snapshot of where your child is. Does he destroy items when he's mad? (bottom of the ladder) Can he verbalize anger and work towards a solution? (higher rung on the ladder!) The goal is to get them moving to the next rung, one at a time. And most importantly, let them express their anger

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-09 00:00:00 James Arrington El Classic book, got it free on kindle, but lots of great advice still pertinent for today. A good reminder about being an example to your kids on how you want them to handle their emotions, and emphasis on "connect before you correct."
