When did that sudden gap divide your home into territories
staked and claimed, with music blasting through the halls
and fists banging on doors to turn down the stereo/TV/video
game? Teens, when did you start seeing your parents as your
enemies instead of your heroes? And parents, when did you
start seeing your teens as crazy little demons instead of
your loving children? Finally, there is a solution for both sides, and one that
will not only bridge that gap but show parents and teens
alike how to prevent it. Jay McGraw is the ideal person to
write a book for both parents and teens. A bestselling
author by the age of twenty-one and son of number one New
York Times bestseller Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D., known to
millions worldwide as Dr. Phil, Jay has seen the parent-
teen battle from all angles. In this groundbreaking work,
he introduces a new plan for both teens and their parents
to work through the issues that divide them and, in the
process, rediscover the love that initially defined their
relationship. Jay works from both sides -- sharing the perspectives of
parent and teen as the former struggles for control, the
latter for independence. He explains to parents how their
teenagers wish to be treated, cared for, and even
disciplined, and he shows teens how gaining power can come
only from earning respect. In this entertaining,
informative, and life-changing book, Jay gives instructions
to both sides of the familial gap on: * Dos and Don'ts for Parents and Teens
* Parent and Teen Myths
* Discovering Your Needs
* Tuning In to the Needs of Others
* Ten Ways to Bridge the Gap and Reconnect
