About the Book: This book is intended as a guide to parents of teens and preteens who wish to create a strong and lifelong bond with their children that will grow in tandem with the parent-child relationship. Where’s the Line: a Parent’s Guide to Teen Transitions without Trauma gives parents a unique perspective about what it means to be a teenager today.
