This book was created in response to the many requests that Professor Francis E. Jensen received from parents, teachers, and even the teenagers themselves. They wanted to share their stories, ask questions, and figure out what is the best way to help their children—or themselves—get through this difficult and exciting stage of life.
The book aims to provide practical recommendations for parents so they can effectively support their teenagers. The teenage brain is in a unique stage of development. As discussed in the book, teenagers have weak points characteristic of this age, but they also have exceptional abilities that may fade over time.
