 The
Teen Code--A Wake Up Call for Parents
- Crosswalk
Books on parenting adolescents have been a growth industry for
some time, with puzzled and harried parents often trying to figure
out what is going on in the minds of their teenagers. A new offering
in this field, "The Teen Code," offers advice on parenting
teens with a unique twist--the book was written by a seventeen-year-old
boy. Though the young author certainly did not intend it, this book
is a wake-up call for America's parents.

do to help their parents communicate better with them? Where
does trust fit in?

How open do you think your kids can be with you? Do you think
they would admit to you that they can't be candid? Give them
the opportunity to open and candid with you about their level
of freedom to be open and candid with you - let them know that
they will not be in trouble for anything they say and stick
to this commitment.

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
