Praise for this book
"Don't believe the idea that the teenage years are something to dread! As the parent of two teens, I am so grateful for my friend Jim Burns and Understanding Your Teen. While today's kids face challenges that no other generation has faced, these years can also be wonderful--and this book shows us how!"
--Shaunti Feldhahn, author of For Women Only and For Parents Only"Understanding Your Teen is a must-have for any parent! It is also a great resource for anyone who works with young people. Dr. Burns peels back the layers of adolescence and gives an inside glimpse into the perspective and world of teens. This book truly covers it all!"
--Albert Tate, lead pastor, Fellowship Monrovia"Understanding Your Teen offers a lifetime of wisdom and insight for every parent, educator, and youth worker. Jim knows kids, parenting, marriage, and the family like few others, and in this book he brings important perspectives to some of the most vital current issues. A great resource for a couple, small group, or ministry leadership team."
--Chap Clark, author, Hurt 2.0: Inside the World of Today's Teenagers, and professor of youth, family, and culture, Fuller Theological Seminary"My wife and I just entered the parenting teens phase. Our desire is to influence, not control, our children during these foundational years. My go-to guy for all things parenting is Jim Burns. Understanding Your Teen is the first step toward influencing your teen. We fully support the message of this book."
