As a mom just wading into the tween parenting phase, Im so grateful to have this book in preparation for the teenage years. While its a great resource for parents of teens who need a different approach, what a gift it is to those of us who are just setting our course! Many times, I found myself closing the pages of this book and being immediately faced with a real-life parenting pop quiz. I was grateful for the perspective shift and Mikes wise and hopeful voice cheerleading me on. Winning the Heart of Your Child gives hope for a better way!
