Teens are “full of life, enthusiasm, energy, and laughter,” Dr. Ray asserts, in defiance of a culture that conditions us to expect a far gloomier reality. Too often, the world tells parents to be content with mediocrity instead of the prospect of raising respectful and responsible children with strong character.\u003cbr\u003eIn a lively question-and-answer format, Dr. Ray unpacks issues ranging from sibling relationships and peer pressure to curfews and chores to overcoming backtalk and teaching your kids to avoid drugs. He equips parents to give their teens a safer, more stable adolescence and help them develop virtues for a lifetime. If you feel as if you’ve been a weak disciplinarian, Dr. Ray explains that “there are . . . critical reasons to reverse your parenting, even if it seems late.” He offers practical approaches such as:\u003cbr\u003e• Four tips to help you enjoy your kids’ teen years\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Three techniques for becoming a calmer parent\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Five ways to monitor your child’s use of technology\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Four simple house rules that lead to success\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Four consequences to curb nasty talk\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• A strategy to motivate underachievers\u003cbr\u003eYou will also learn four key sayings for communicating more effectively with your teens. In addition, you will find out specific ways to cultivate an attitude of gratitude in your kids. Most significantly, you will learn how to help your children treat you with respect, so that they will develop this habit in their relationships with others as well. As you grow in becoming a stronger parent with calm, loving resolve, you will learn how to foster quality time with your teens and have real fun together.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is wise, perceptive, and laugh-out-loud funny.

Just months before he passed into eternity, he summed up his decades of teaching on the topic: “To you, women, falls the task of being sentinels of the Invisible!”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these eye-opening pages, author Melissa Maleski shows how this final bold admonition succinctly embodies the Catholic Church’s entire, consistent vision of women as powerful, vital agents for good. Drawing not only on the works of John Paul II and on those of the Church Fathers but also on the example of scores of holy women in the Bible plus the Blessed Virgin Mary and the many female saints of the Church, these pages offer profound and practical insights into the fundamental strengths and habits that distinguish womanhood as a particular way of being human, while giving authentic witness to the divine image of our Creator. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe warned: here you’ll encounter no outdated, sentimental ode to “feminine genius.” On the contrary, reaching across time and space, Maleski’s straightforward, engaging prose introduces you to the bracing, universal truths of the Church about the inherent strength and supreme vocation of womanhood, equipping you to counter forcefully our secular culture’s distorted views of personhood, the human body, gender, sexuality, and the profound, God-ordained complementarity of men and women.
