Seattle Book Review

It's very timely because I have some very intellectually gifted students that I'm attempting to support who definitely fall within the "challenge averse" category with straight F grades in all of their classes.

If your teen resists lifes challenges, this book is written for you. Dr. Luciano provides a clear, comprehensive framework for identifying your teens issues, and a detailed roadmap to help your teen to grow with confidence, independence, initiative, identity, and trust. His directions for parents are insightful and practical. The 5 Foundations of Successful Teens is an essential guidebook for parenting a teen who is struggling to grow up.
