The challenges facing our children and their parents are immense. Post-COVID challenges, pressures unknown to previous generations, and the devastating impact of social media leave many parents struggling to help their children navigate these difficulties. However, there are solutions, and this book offers both parents and teens helpful insights on how to meet these and other challenges.”

Rooted in an understanding of the teenage brain, Hold Your Teen Close helps parents feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and better equipped to support their teenage sons.
With practical tools and relatable strategies, it supports both parents and professionals working with teenage boys in navigating everyday challenges including boundaries, technology, and mental health.
Introducing the Cognitive-Friendly Parenting Method, the book helps readers make sense of behaviours such as moodiness, impulsivity, and risk-taking, and shows how improved communication can reduce conflict and strengthen relationships.
