Bridging the Gap Between Teenagers and Parents

by Terry Louise Washington

Bridging the Gap Between Teenagers and Parents provides guidance for improving relationships between parents and their teens. Too often, conflict between parents and teens seems impossible to resolve - neither one wants to hear the others point of view, and they might spend years living with feelings of anger and frustration.

This book, however, will teach parents how to repair their relationships with their teens by learning to understand them. By learning to see where their teens are coming from, parents will instill feelings of mutual respect, love, and understanding between themselves and their teens, creating a bond that will last a lifetime.

Terry Louise Washington has extensive experience in repairing family relationships. She has a masters degree in human behavior, and she teaches effective parenting classes for San Diego Continuing Education. Her two daughters, Sparkle and Ashley, have given her firsthand experience in mending relationships between parents and teens.

In recent years, Terry has also been active with community groups such as the Youth Focus Forum and professional organizations such as the California Association for Education of Young Children. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, writing, walking, singing, listening to music, and acting.
