Locating the Route: A Novel for Mother and father of Teenagers
“When you appear in the mirror, do you like what you see?” Is this a problem to consult a mother or father struggling with a defiant teenager? Totally, says psychologist Jeffrey P.

” Must read” for parents of teens!,
Finding the Path is a powerful parenting tool. It is different from other parenting books in that it conveys invaluable parenting lessons through an enjoyable and interesting story. The most valuable lesson for me was the impact that my actions have on my teen’s behavior.I found the appendices to be a helpful summary of the lessons that were intertwined throughout the story. They alone were worth the price of the book. Thanks to Finding the Path I now have concrete steps that I can take to improve my relationship with my teenager. And as a bonus, I have a better understanding of myself!

|A unique kind of parenting self-help guide,
Collaboratively written by Jeffrey P. Kaplan (a licensed psychologist with a full-time practice specializing in adolescent psychology and stress management) and Abby Lederman (a freelance journalist who facilitates workshops for parents of teens, and who teaches parenting courses), Finding The Path is a unique kind of parenting self-help guide that presents its “love-based parenting” plan showcased within the context of a fiction novel about a single mother and her rebellious teenage son. Extensive endnotes and appendices help bring into relief the practical and sound advice for parents everywhere trying to figure out their teenagers. Sometimes fiction can be effectively in the service of providing useful and usable information — Finding The Path is highly recommended as being just such a novel.

|great book,
What a great idea! The co-authors of Finding the Path are really onto something. One of them is a psychologist and the other one the mother of three teenagers. The novel they wrote is exciting. It’s about a mother’s struggle todeal with the changes that arise in her realtionship with her son when he becomes a teenager. The best part of this book is that it is easy-to-read and it has footnotes that document the psychological theory behind the story. All of this makes the book a fun read and a learning experience for stressed out parents of teenagers – and there are many of us! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to turn their relationship with their teens around before it’s too late. This is a must-read book!
