<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>We have a tendency today to over-parent, micro-manage, and under-appreciate our adolescents. Dr. John Duffy's The Available Parent is a revolutionary approach to taking care of teens and tweens. Teenagers are often left feeling unheard and misunderstood, and parents are left feeling bewildered by the changes in their child at adolescence and their sudden lack of effectiveness as parents. The parent has become unavailable, the teen responds in kind, and a negative, often destructive cycle of communication begins. The available parent of a teenager is open to discussion, offering advice and solutions, but not insisting on them. He allows his child to make some mistakes, setting limits, primarily where health and safety are concerned. He never lectures -- he is available but not controlling. He is neither cruel nor dismissive, ever. The available parent is fun and funny, and can bring levity to the most stressful situation. All of that is to say, there are no conditions to his availability -- it is absolute.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Get the Relationship You Want with Your Teen <BR>Highly recommended by everyone from NPR to Fox News and the "Today" show, Dr. John Duffy s "The Available Parent" will help you negotiate the ever-changing landscape of the teenage years. Imagine healthy conversations replacing angry outbursts, slammed doors, obsessive texting or sullen silence. Begin to enjoy a healthy, satisfying, new kind of relationship with your teenager one based on true availability, clear expectations and calm communication, rather than fear-based control. At a time when many helicopter parents micromanage and under-appreciate their children, Dr. Duffy s step-by-step guide is an innovative approach to taking care of teens and tweens.<BR>"<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This book came to me just at the right moment, as my older daughter hovers on the edge of adolescence. I'm grateful for Dr. Duffy's wisdom, which I know will allow me to enjoy my daughters' teen years rather than just make it through them. I will revisit this book again and again over the coming years--whenever I need a reminder to be present and available to my kids. It has refreshed my sense of gratitude and appreciation for the remarkable young people in my life. --Kate Hopper, Author of <i>Use Your Words: A Writing Guide for Mothers</i> and <i>Ready for Air: A Journey Through Premature Motherhood</i>-- "Reviews"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Duffy is a clinical psychologist and certified life coach with a thriving private practice.
