In The Parent-Teen Connection, Susan Caso provides valuable insights and proven strategies to cultivate a “felt connectedness” in the family. The path to engagement and harmony at home can be baffling, but with new communication tools, Susan guides parents to build trust with their teens to overcome any obstacle.
