Use this book in the way that it will help you most. You can read straight through, chapter by chapter, or you can skip ahead to the chapters that will help you with your most pressing concerns at the moment, such as your teen's social development or standardized tests. As you read, remember that the parent-child relationship is a dynamic one, changing as both you and your child grow older and learn more about each other and yourselves. Think positive, stay involved, and remember that you are still your child's most important teacher.
