This book helped me to understand the thoughts and emotions of my son, a Senior in High School better. Also, it put to rest some of my fears and concerns of him going off to college. Knowing what to expect and not to expect is very helpful.

Carol Kuykendall provides good insights as she warmly recounts her experience in supporting her teenagers transition through high school and into college. Many suggestions are based on how God loves us, which of course is a great model for how we can love our teenagers. (Many of us act like we are teenagers in responding to God!) "Give Them Wings" has been very helpful for us to think through the changes, understand how our teenagers think and feel, how we might be feeling, and to adjust accordingly. Nicely written. Not a detailed manual but it isn't meant to serve that purpose (I ordered another book for that)

Parenting a teenager is difficult. The relationship is easily strained. You want them to fly high and strong when they leave the nest. Carol gives many helpful suggestions through examples of her own experiences. A must read for parents of children at any age.
