Life would be much easier if parents and teens always understood each other...but the reality is--they often don't. In this entertaining and enlightening talk, popular speaker and author Dr. John L. Lund explores the differences between these two groups and shares the secrets for having greater happiness at home. He explains that while teens seek freedom, friends, and fun, parents are more concerned with teaching about responsibility, strengthening family ties, and keeping family members safe. With these different governing values in mind, Dr. Lund encourages teens to learn to speak their parents' language and demonstrate that they are responsible. "The key to getting what you want from your parents," says Dr. Lund "is building a track record of trust. Trust is what parents really care about." How to Get What You Want from Your Parents is an excellent tool for building greater understanding and love between parents and teens.
