Thoughts to Share With a Wonderful Teenager

"Between the joy of being a protected, cherished child and the contentment of being a free, independent adult is the fun, the frustration, the confusion, the boredom, the excitement, the despondence, and the elation of a teenager." - Barbara Cage

The teenage years fundamentally transform the lives of young people -- as well as the roles played by their parents. In the midst of so many changes, the most meaningful things can sometimes go unsaid. It's particularly important at times like these to keep open the lines of communication... to give parents an opportunity to share their hopes, advice, and life experiences; to empower teenagers with some well-deserved encouragement as they find their way in a challenging world.

This book is especially for those times. It's a reminder to parents and children alike that the teenage years are not just to be endured, but enjoyed to the fullest -- for they are creating memories that will be treasured forever. It's for every teen who needs to hear how special they are, and for every parent who wants to share some beautiful thoughts... with their wonderful teenager.

"I love you beyond all words. And I promise that I will love you beyond all time. So many treasures await you in your journey of life... and being blessed with you... has been mine." - Douglas Pagels
