Parenting beyond the Rules Raising Teens with Confidence and Joy edition by Connie Albers Michael Farris Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

• I've read so many parenting books with lofty ideals that at the end left me asking, "Yeah, but HOW do I make that happen?" Finally, here's a book that takes rock-solid theories and principles and offers tangible ways to apply to real life. And the end result promises the hope of having well-functioning kids with fantastic relationships. Boom! Albers wrote in such a way to draw the reader in with good stories, examples, facts and statistics, and humor with winsome words to encourage and direct parents of all ages. This book is good for those with 9 and 10 year-olds, but would also be good for new parents, parents of toddlers and even grandparents. Buy several and plan to share. (I bought 4)
• A great book about building relationship and trust with your teen so you can have influence in their lives. The author has great practical tips you can start doing now so it’s not too late to read if you’re currently in the teen years of parenting. There are also thoughtful reflective questions at the end of each chapter. I would recommend this especially to anyone with preteens so you’ll be well prepared for the years ahead. My husband and I have raised our 2 teens with much the same mindset as the author’s suggestions and we have had much success during these trying years.
• This is a must have parenting resource that I will be referring back to many, many times over the upcoming years as my oldest of 4 is just on the cusp of her teenage years. Connie offers practical advice on how to connect with your teenager on a heart level. She encourages parents to be great listeners and to parent each unique child uniquely in the way that best prepares them for the life God has planned for them. Connie urges parents to bend the rules as needed to protect the heart relationship because that is where connection and trust are formed. If we have our child’s heart, we have influence over them. I love how she uses “painting pictures of possibilities” to describe parenting and that our children are each a unique masterpiece.
• I don't have teens just yet, but have been anxiously awaiting those years and what they may bring. Parenting Beyond the Rules has eased my fears and has given me the perspective of staying AHEAD of the teen years and entering them with positivity. The practical steps the author offers are doable and encouraging!
• Wow! I wish I had read Parenting Beyond the Rules when my oldest was a teen. This book has helped me realize that we not alone in this season and there are practical, doable ideas for winning their heart. Thank you for sharing your experience & wisdom Connie Albers!!
• This magnificent book is a toolbox for every teacher, coach, mentor, parent, future parent, and veteran parent of teens seeking to raise well-rounded teens and restore core values in today's society. The wise advise found in this book equips the reader to handle different situations of the teenage years in a productive and respectful way. Each chapter builds character, promotes healthy relationships with teens, and guides the reader on the "How to" resolve common matters with teenagers. The book carefully delineates the world of our teens today; and, offers key questions at the end of each chapter that unlock a new level of trust, confidence, and understanding about this stage of life.
  
  Reading this book was like eating an exquisite dinner prepared by a top-chef with prime ingredients; you will keep coming back to its pages for more of Connie's expertise!
• "Parenting Beyond the Rules" is a book that will make you laugh, encourage your heart, and give you many wise nuggets toward practical parenting. With amazing "street cred" of having raised 5 children (and all the antics that go along with that!), Albers gives you permission to relax the rules and focus on relationship. She emphasizes that in all things, if you have their heart, you can influence their lives. You can't go wrong with this book!
• This book is such an encouragement and blessing! Looking back at my own teen years, I knew I wanted my relationship with my children to be different as they hit their teen years... yet I have found myself struggling. I’ve found our relationships waning. This book speaks right to my heart and gives the practical advice I need to apply biblical principles to heal and grow my relationship with my young teen. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!!
