Drawing from a lifelong ministry with children and teens, and from the experience of more than 70 parents who have weathered the storms, the author provides practical, down-to-earth advice on how to navigate the parenting passages, those critical times of transition all of us face as we raise our children. Besides identifying the 11 states, he illustrates specific warnings, opportunities, lessons, and resources for each step of the way.
