We set boundaries for our children because we want to keep them safe and sound, and we want to teach them to make good decisions. While boundaries may change as our children grow, the need for them is the same. Parents need advice to navigate the complex and difficult scenarios that may arise with their adolescent children.
June Hunt and Jody Capehart provide this kind of advice in "Healthy Boundaries for Your Teen." Based on biblical principles, they teach parents to set appropriate boundaries in four critical areas of a teenager's life: at home and at school, and in their personal and social lives. Each chapter begins with a real-life scenario followed by specific advice on what to say and the disciplinary measures to take, if any, with your child. Practical and realistic in its guidelines, the book continually shows how discipline and boundaries are useful catalysts for healthy family relationships.
