We've all seen some poor adolescent spiral out of control and hoped that it would never be our kid making those kinds of mistakes. Why do some teens self-destruct? Can we communicate a little differently? Can we teach or encourage a little more? When do we let them make mistakes and face the consequences and when do we jump in to their rescue? This book contains true stories of parents and teens, written by ten different professionals who interact with teens in a variety of ways. Cops, teachers, administrators and counselors all provide valuable insight to parents about how to help your teens avoid the serious pitfalls of adolescence and capitalize on their mistakes for future success. WTF? Failure is not an option!
