Here, he  centers on the adolescent years and charts out five goals for parents:  managing emotions around letting go, reducing conflict, minimizing  anxiety, becoming confident in your parenting ability, and understanding  that nurturing independence is an act of love. His style is pleasant and  concise and, while 30 chapters and 350-plus pages on teenagers may sound  like Gitmo to some readers, his advice will be of great value to parents  who stick with his program.
