Product Description

In Tough Guys and Drama Queens, Mark Gregston, founder of Heartlight Ministries, a residential counseling center for struggling adolescents, helps parents become the parents their children need them to be. The ability of a parent to reach their teen has more to do with approach than words. The book is divided into three sections: 1) What's Different About the Culture Today; 2) Why traditional parenting no longer works; and 3) A new model for parenting teens. So, if you want assistance with guiding your child through raging hormones colliding against a worldly culture, Mark's advice will help you engage your teenager and influence him or her for good.
