Parenting in the Third Stage: From Holding Hands to Holding Space (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798765264591)

One minute you're holding their hand ... the next, they're headed in the opposite direction, and you're standing at the intersection, staring at a road sign announcing you have a teenager. Parenting in the Third Stage is your guide to pivoting when the old parenting map no longer works, and your teen is forging a path of their own. This guide is a hands-on, heart-centered journal packed with insights to help you reconnect when your teen pulls away, communicate when words don't come easily, and show up bravely, calmly, and consistently. Inside, you'll find: - dozens of weekly tools grounded in adolescent brain science, emotional regulation, and values-based parenting; - simple daily prompts to help you pause, reflect, and put ideas into action; - blueprints to communicate with clarity, empathy, and confidence. If you've ever thought, "Wait, where did my kid go?" or "I just want us to feel close again," this journal is for you. Let this guide be your GPS for the wild turns and unexpected detours of raising a teen, so you can reconnect, regroup, and walk beside them with courage, no matter where the road leads.
