Mood swings, impulsiveness, poor judgment, and other problems peak in these years.

Too many are struggling with excessive academic loads, extracurricular demands, sleep deprivation, and 24\/7 connectivity, causing epidemic rates of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and suicide.

Resilience-focused parenting helps kids regain their footing, overcome obstacles, and successfully cope with the challenges ahead.   \u003cb\u003eAdvance Praise for \u003ci\u003eCrazy-Stressed\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e   \"For parents of today's teens, the world is not the one you knew as a kid.
