PARENTING NEVER ENDS.

From the founders of the #1 site for parents of teens and young adults comes an essential guide for building strong relationships with your teens and preparing them to successfully launch into adulthood

The high school and college years: an extended roller coaster of academics, friends, first loves, first break-ups, driver’s ed, jobs, and everything in between. Kids are constantly changing and how we parent them must change, too. But how do we stay close as a family as our lives move apart?

Enter the co-founders of Grown and Flown, Lisa Heffernan and Mary Dell Harrington. In the midst of guiding their own kids through this transition, they launched what has become the largest website and online community for parents of fifteen to twenty-five year olds. Now they’ve compiled new takeaways and fresh insights from all that they’ve learned into this handy, must-have guide.

Grown and Flown is a one-stop resource for parenting teenagers, leading up to—and through—high school and those first years of independence. It covers everything from the monumental (how to let your kids go) to the mundane (how to shop for a dorm room). Organized by topic—such as academics, anxiety and mental health, college life—it features a combination of stories, advice from professionals, and practical sidebars.

Consider this your parenting lifeline: an easy-to-use manual that offers support and perspective. Grown and Flown is required listening for anyone looking to raise an adult with whom you have an enduring, profound connection.

Goodreads review by Gina

I’m part of the Grown and Flown FB group and they post some really wonderful parenting articles. I think I was a bit early in reading the actual book. I think this book would be great if you have a senior or end-of-year junior in high school. My eldest is still a sophomore so I’m not really in the s......more

I’ve tried to read this for a year or two but finally reached the point where it became a necessity. It hit a sweet spot for me with an incoming Junior in high school and a kid leaving for college in a matter of weeks. The book has advice for both time frames. I was able to analyze the things we did......more

Goodreads review by Lee

Any parent of a teenager knows that this stage of child-rearing is where the real work begins. The physical exhaustion of chasing toddlers is no match for the extended roller coaster of school, social life, mean kids, friendships, broken hearts, first loves and potential dangers that lurk as we help......more

Goodreads review by Beth

Nothing earth shattering and leaned way more involved than I think they were trying to advocate. Feel like both sides presented but still overtly involved in the launch.......more
