My book, Parenting 2.0 Think in the Future Act in the Now, is a product of 15 years working as a therapist. All spent listening to life stories that have detoured, wobbled, crashed, burned and been re-built. Too many were family situations that did not need to become full blown crisis. In almost all cases, if Moms and Dads had better information the crisis would have been averted.

As I looked around, it was clear that old parenting tactics would not work for today's families. By writing Parenting 2.0, I am providing something new. Insight and principles that keep modern challenges top of mind.

As a mom of 15 year old twins I'm living that reality as we speak! The journey has proven to be terrifying,triumphant and truly humbling all at the s ...more

15-year-old twins? Mine (girls) just turned 14. What's the secret? Some days I can feel the hair physically leaving my head. I'm fully convinced they both have bright futures as CIA-trained torture experts.

So you need to get clear with them and be consistent....whether its grades chores or gadgets - consistency builds street cred. I always tell parents focus on what you want - I am always looking for good judgment, accountability and the brains to ask for help when they need it.

Don't take the bait to escalate situations - they have nothing to lose and will jack you up as far as you will go - They don't want to be in charge - but they need you to be in control so that they can find some space to use their brain-

My chapter on teens and how to respond to difficult moments will give you a couple of gems to up your game with them -

The Power of Play

"He can't swim!"
Those are the last words a parent wants to hear while enjoying a lazy poolside afternoon. And when it happened to me, it struck terror in my heart.
In less than a heartbeat, my fully-clothed husband launched himself into the pool for the rescue. He grabbed hold of a neighbor's child who had slipped in without his floatation device, and was flailing in the water as the other kids sh Read more of this blog post »
