Closing the Gap: A Strategy for Bringing Parents and Teens Together
₦2,000.00Parents: Does your teen withdraw to his or her room at every opportunity? Does she talk with you about her friends? Does he participate in discussions at meals? Does your teen want you to see projects from school? When is the last time you actually went into your teen’s room and looked at what’s hanging on the walls and sitting on the shelves?
n
nTeens: Do your parents hide behind the newspaper? Do they always have to work when you’ve got a game, a recital, or an open house at school? Is there anything you do together anymore? When was the last time they took a walk, a bike ride, or even a trip to get ice cream with you?
n
nWhen 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?
n
nTeens, 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?
n
nFinally, 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.
n
nJay 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:

n
n* Parent and Teen Myths
n
n* Discovering Your Needs

Family first
₦2,000.00I want to talk to you about family: yours and mine. I know and feel that as parents, you and I share some very important priorities. Just like you, I love my family more than anything in this world and I want us all to be safe, healthy, happy and prosperous in everything we do both within our family and as we go out into the world. Cynics will tell you that in our fast-paced society “family” is becoming obsolete, that it is just an old-fashioned, lost concept, getting buried in a busy world of “enlightened” people. I’m here to tell you that that is not right, not even close. Family is even more important today than in generations past, and its erosion is unacceptable. This is a fight we can and must win. This is a fight we will win if we just do our homework and plug in. What I intend to do in Family First is tell you with great precision what you need to stop doing and what you need to start doing to lead your family with such a pure purpose and power that the competing messages and influences are drowned out. I plan to help you define success and then take the steps to create and claim it for you and yours. Your children are the stars in your crown and it is time for them to shine; it is okay for them to shine and, if you do your job, shine they will. DR. PHIL MCGRAW (AUTHOR)

For Better or For Worse: Divorce Reconsidered
₦2,500.00Mavis Hetherington, “without doubt the world’s preeminent researcher on the family processes that surround divorce,…has distilled the wisdom growing out of her many studies of the short-term and long-term impact of divorce on family members” (Eleanor Maccoby, Stanford University). Offering “a welcome corrective to misleading and simplistic accounts,” Hetherington “not only provides scientifically sound and wonderfully sensible guidance but dispels the myth that divorce is always negative” (Ross D. Parke, University of California, Riverside). This “widely-heralded study” (Time) is a “reader-friendly guide to how people can build success out of the stress and adversity of divorce” (Michael Rutter, Institute of Psychiatry, London), presenting a more nuanced picture of marital breakup—not as a momentary event but as a life process. Hetherington identifies the kinds of marriages that predispose a couple to divorce or not and also pinpoints “windows of change” that allow some to fashion the challenges of divorce into an opportunity for themselves and for their children. “Gold standard [research] aimed at clearing up confusion among moms and dads worried about divorce.”—USA Today “Sure to become a classic in the field!”—Constance R. Ahrons, author of The Good Divorce “Without doubt the world’s preeminent researcher on the family processes that surround divorce.”—Eleanor Maccoby, Stanford University “A welcome corrective to misleading and simplistic accounts…dispels the myth that divorce is always negative.”—Ross D. Parke, University of California, Riverside. E. MAVIS HETHERINGTON AND JOHN KELLY (AUTHOR)
