For Parents Only by Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa A. Rice

‘Tis the Season for Family Friction

The holidays are almost here, bringing added stresses, misunderstandings, and teen attitudes. Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa Rice can help families with these issues during this often difficult time, as well as the rest of the year.

For Parents Only
by Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa A. Rice
I'LL BE GIVING AWAY TWO COPIES OF THIS BOOK
WATCH FOR DETAILS
COMING SOON!!!
MY TAKE ON THE BOOK:

This is a thorough, well-done book - written clearly and simply. I wish I could have read this book before we had an exchange student live with us several years ago! There's still hope for me, like Shaunti, we still have a few years before our toddlers become teenagers. Clearly though, it's never to early to prepare both them and ourselves for the days ahead. This book is helping me to learn and prepare now - and I have no doubt that I'll be reading it again in the years to come. Definitely a must read for all parents with children (no matter what age they are now)!

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Shaunti Feldhahn is the author of For Women Only and numerous other books, with sales totaling nearly one million copies. A nationally syndicated newspaper columnist and public speaker, Feldhahn earned her master’s degree at Harvard University. She and her husband, Jeff, have two young children.

Lisa A. Rice is the associate editor of Christian Living magazine, the mother of two teenage girls, and a screenwriter and producer.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Shaunti Feldhahn is known for unlocking the mysteries of relationships for men and women. Now she turns to a parent’s relationship with a child, particularly a child of the opposite sex. Drawing on the results of a nationwide survey of kids and teenagers, she explores questions such as:

What do moms need to understand about the “tough and tender” boy who values respect over love?

What do dads need to understand about their daughter’s need for affirmation?

What are the six biggest pet peeves teens have about their parents?

Understanding the answers to these and other important questions can help parents make the holidays a time of celebration and unity, not strife and friction.

For Parents Only offers a unique look into a child’s mind and frees readers to communicate in healthier ways as they discover that understanding their kids may not be as complicated as they think.
