“This brilliant book focuses on all-the-things―the anxiety, depression, relationships, vaping, sex, grades―it’s really comprehensive and honest and we are thrilled to have it as a resource for our listeners. The most important part of John’s work/writing is that he’s really positive and optimistic about teens―he loves working with them and he knows they are smart, caring, deep, and empathic. He respects their viewpoints and he supports parents in developing a more respectful and connected relationship with their kids. He’s been a speaker at all four of our conferences, and we just love him dearly. AND he is such a good dad and such a good man out in the real world. He walks the walk and Todd and I are so proud to have him as a friend.” (from Amazon)
