Nurturing Your Teenager's Soul: A Practical Approach To Raising A Kind, Honorable, Compassionate Teen [Bargain Price] [Paperback]

Mimi Doe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 20, 2004

In Nurturing Your Teenager's Soul Mimi Doe presents ten clear, concrete principles to help parents nurture their teen's spiritual growth, at a time when teens face sometimes-overwhelming peer influences, the hazards of substance abuse, issues of sexuality, the risks and freedoms of driving, the stress of high school, and getting into a good college.

The inspirational, non-denominational principles in this book show parents how to:

- Use their words to profoundly affect their children's lives
- Listen fully and connect with their teen
- Nurture their teenager's dreams--and make miracles happen
- Negotiate the balance between being a pal and a parent
- Support their adolescent in becoming a successful adult

Nurturing Your Teenager's Soul will help parents in ways greater than they ever thought possible-to give their teenager the spiritual resources he or she will need to become a safe, and happy adult.

AS the mother of twin teen boys, I struggle just to keep up with them let alone think about what's going on inside their hearts, minds. I have long been an admirer of Mimi Doe as an author and this book is going to be the book that will carry my boys through their teenage years...There is a warm, compassionate feel here that reassures me...with all the insanity going on during these years this book gives me ways to keep connected...

5.0 out of 5 stars Relief........Finally...........Real Tips for Real Teens..., November 7, 2004

This review is from: Nurturing Your Teenager's Soul: A Practical Approach to Raising a Kind, Honorable, Compassionate Teen (Paperback)

Just got this book the other day and already I feel more relaxed and hopeful about raising up these teenagers of mine (I have 2). The writing isn't judgemental or preachy and seems to be without religious overtones. I will go back and use it again I'm sure because I'm reading it with my highlight pen. The best part, so far, for me are the author's real stories and the Parents Check in Questions. The stories show me there are other parents like me...with teens who make mistakes. The questions really get me thinking about what I can do to make things better.

This review is from: Nurturing Your Teenager's Soul: A Practical Approach to Raising a Kind, Honorable, Compassionate Teen (Paperback)

If you have teenagers in your house, or will someday, buy this book for them and youself. Somehow Mimi Doe has managed to combine practical advice on how to cope with the challenges of raising adolescents with this amazing understanding about how to connect with them on another level. I have three teenagers, two boys and a girl, and lots of typical ups and downs raising them. This book will help. Already has. Buy it!
