They seem to come from another universe They don't clean up after themselves. Their rooms are a disaster. They rebel against doing anything with the family. They come home late, sleep late, and show up late to places they are supposed to be. And worst of all, when you speak with them, they seem unable to hear your voice, even when their earbuds aren't plugged in. What's a parent to do? The ages of 13-16 are some of the hardest times for a parent to navigate. Parenting from the Periphery will give you some ideas you can use immediately to improve the way you relate with your teens and help you assist them in the exhilarating and painful process of becoming an adult.Dale W. DePalatis leverages his own parenting experience - successfully raising three kids into adulthood - and his 25+ years of high school teaching to help you better parent and connect with these "alien" creatures living under your own roof.
