Grown and Flown: How to Support Your Teen, Stay Close as a Family, and Raise Independent Adults [Audiobook]

An essential parenting guide for building a strong relationship with your teen while preparing them to take flight from the nest.

High school: It's a time when kids are constantly changing as they draw closer to graduation and young adulthood. But how do you parent your kids through this complicated time? And how do you maintain a strong relationship as they prepare to transition from life at home to life outside of the nest?

Lisa Heffernan and Mary Dell Harrington are here to help. After seeing their own kids through this transition, they founded Grown and Flown: an online community for parents of teens that features curated content from experts, shared experiences from parents, and tried-and-true advice. And now, they've compiled key takeaways and fresh insights from all that they've learned over the years to form this handy, essential guide.

Grown and Flown is a crucial resource for parenting teenagers, leading up to - and through - the transition from high school to college. It covers everything from the monumental of parenting (how to let your kids go) to the mundane (how to shop for a dorm room). Organized by topic - such as love and sex, anxiety and mental health, and academics - features a combination of the author's stories, advice from experts, and practical lists and sidebars.

In this accessible manual, parents will feel supported and understand in their quest to support and understand their teens. Grown and Flown is required listening for anyone looking to raise an adult with whom you have an enduring, profound connection.
