“Just wait until they’re teens,” many have said. Raising teenagers is no easy task. As a parent, you’re constantly navigating the line between love and limits, rules and relationship … between protecting them and giving them more and more freedom and autonomy. That’s why boundaries are so important.

This book provides practical, biblical, step-by-step strategies to establish and maintain boundaries with your teenager in four key areas of life: at home, in school, their personal lives, and their social circle. Each of the 38 short chapters provides practical “What could I do?” and “What could I say” coaching strategies on a variety of issues, including:

• Talking back
• Ignoring chores
• Breaking curfew
• Internet usage
• Failing grades
• Cheating
• Bullying
• Procrastinating
• Conflicts over clothes
• Pornography
• Lying
• Questionable friends
• Refusing church participation
• Sexual activity
• And more…

It can be tricky and painful to establish boundaries and discipline, but it’s also a unique opportunity to grow closer to your teen and keep them on the right path.

This is the revised edition with additional chapters from speaker and Christian educator, Jody Capehart.
