Tweens + Teens: New Strategies for Wise-Minded Parents

The adolescent brain is a giant construction site, often accompanied by irrational behavior and chaos impacting the whole family.


Dr. Kastner distills the very latest research into wise-minded parenting strategies to help bring out the best in young people. Her engaging advice prepares parents well for the unpredictable and often turbulent tween and teen years.


Clinical associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington and a nationally renowned expert on teen behavior and development, Dr. Kastner is also co-author of Getting to Calm: Cool-Headed Strategies for Parenting Tweens and Teens. Her new book will be available in 2013.
