There are things we absolutely need to talk to our teens about, but what we say, how we say it, and when we say it make all the difference between helping them embrace truth and become the person God designed them to be--or driving them away. Will they listen? How will they take it? These are legitimate worries that can keep us from saying anything--or have us second-guessing everything we did say.

What to Say and How to Say It to Your Teen is your field manual to clear, compassionate communication with the son or daughter who no longer thinks you have all the answers--even though they have more questions than ever, like
? Why can't I have my phone in my room at night?
? Why do I have to go to church?
? How can God allow bad things to happen?
? What can I do about the anxiety or depression I'm feeling?
? Why can't I just date for fun?
? Why do I have to get a job?
? Why does it matter who I hang out with?

From shifting views on gender to questioning faith to struggling with honesty or respect or porn, the teen years are tough. They're also some of the most important years for you to offer guidance. This book will help you handle 30 of the trickiest conversations you need to have with your teen.
