This is a super resource for any parents of teenagers. Worth a read or a listen.
Feeding The Mouth That Bites You” has become something of a textbook on parenting teenagers for parents. Unlike other parenting books, Dr. Wilgus’ book provides a path for parents to follow that helps answer the questions parents of teenagers ask, “how can we know we’re doing the right thing with our teen?”
The primary need of all adolescents is “individuation,” the need to know they are on a path to independence in life. Dr. Wilgus outlines “planned emancipation,” a roadmap for parents to meet their teenager’s need in a reasonable and rational manner. Dr. Wilgus applies his thirty-plus years of work with teenagers and their parents to cover the primary issues and conflicts that parents encounter with their adolescents.
