The Blessing of a B Minus

Wendy Mogel's sage advice on parenting has made her one of today's most trusted parenting authorities. Here, she addresses the question she hears most often: what to do when children become teenagers, their sense of independence and entitlement grows, the pressure to succeed skyrockets, and communication becomes fraught with obstacles. With warmth, wit, and her signature combination of Jewish teachings and psychological research, Mogel helps parents navigate the often rough journey through the teenage years and guide children to become confident, resilient young adults. By viewing the frustrating elements of adolescence as "blessings," Mogel reveals that they are, in fact, necessary steps in psychological growth and character development. An important, inspiring book that will fortify parents through the teen years, The Blessing of a B Minus is itself a blessing.
