Overall, as a parent of two teens and one on the way, I was glad to have read this book. It validated some of the choices my wife and I have made that are different than other families as well as giving me some insight into other areas and ways we can help our teens grow and both discover themselves while becoming reliable. It has lots of practical suggestions, the theory behind concepts makes sense, your experience and research helps to make you feel like a trusted source. You go above and beyond to help readers grasp the importance of being intentional with this strategy while doing so with an encouraging and engaging tone that makes the work easy to read. I can see this being a resource that lots of parents will find beneficial.
