Create A Rich Relationship With Your Teen

Parenting a teen can be exasperating. It’s an immense privilege and a daunting responsibility to prepare a child for adulthood. Your masterpiece-in-the-making craves independence while desperately (and sometimes secretly) needing you to guide his or her unique strengths, talents, and personality.

Many parents only offer rules that may have worked better at younger ages. Now more than ever, your teen needs you time, heart, conversations, and love.

In Parenting beyond the Rules, discover how to paint a canvas that will be enjoyed over a lifetime: a relationship with your unique and wonderful teen. Are you ready to pick up your brush with confidence?

“I’ve read so many parenting books with lofty ideals that at the end left me asking, “Yeah, but HOW do I make that happen?” Finally, here’s a book that takes rock-solid theories and principles and offers tangible ways to apply to real life. And the end result promises the hope of having well-functioning kids with fantastic relationships. Boom! Albers wrote in such a way to draw the reader in with good stories, examples, facts and statistics, and humor with winsome words to encourage and direct parents of all ages. This book is good for those with 9 and 10 year-olds, but would also be good for new parents, parents of toddlers and even grandparents. Buy several and plan to share. (I bought 4)”

“This is a must have parenting resource that I will be referring back to many, many times over the upcoming years as my oldest of 4 is just on the cusp of her teenage years. Connie offers practical advice on how to connect with your teenager on a heart level. She encourages parents to be great listeners and to parent each unique child uniquely in the way that best prepares them for the life God has planned for them. Connie urges parents to bend the rules as needed to protect the heart relationship because that is where connection and trust are formed. If we have our child’s heart, we have influence over them. I love how she uses “painting pictures of possibilities” to describe parenting and that our children are each a unique masterpiece.”
