Description

This work aims to provide a solution to the conflict between parents and teens, by not only bridging the gap but showing parents and teens alike how to prevent it. McGraw introduces a new plan for both teens and their parents to work through the issues that divide them and, in the process, rediscover the love that initially defined their relationship. "Closing the Gap" gives instructions to both sides of the familial gap on: dos and don'ts for parents and teens; parent and teen myths; discovering your needs; tuning into the needs of others; and ten ways to bridge the gap and reconnect.
