What People Tell Us About our Parenting Tools

People tell us our key points, packaged with humor and common sense, help teach them about their changing child.

"I attended two of your workshops last September in Seattle. I thoroughly enjoyed them and I purchased five (5) of your tapes, which I have shared with some of my friends. I want you to know what a positive impact your words have had on me and I want to thank you for that! I am listening to the tapes again to refresh my mind of all the key points. I'm lucky in that my boys are 10 and 6, so I have time to get my parenting act together before the "teen" years." - Polly H. Carnation, WA

They tell us our information makes a positive difference in their parenting. And they thank us for not only normalizing what is happening in their homes, but for validating the good job of parenting they are doing. All of us parents need to be reminded of that!

"My husband and I attended one of your seminars and we purchased all your tapes and workbook. Not only did we thoroughly enjoy the seminar and the tapes, but also they both gave us great ideas on dealing with our kids. Most of all they have opened a line of communication between my husband and I that we sometimes tend to forget when in the midst of parenting. It has been wonderful to talk about these ideas again, to realize we both still share the same feelings, frustrations, and concerns, and are consistent with each other.

"Thank you so much for your great ideas and support during this time of parenting. We both value your insights and appreciate you sharing your ideas and beliefs with us!" - L. & W.K., Morgan Hill, CA

BOOKS

Parenting Your Teens with T.L.C.

$12.95 - Order Now

From the best-selling authors of 10 Best Gifts for Your Teens, here's another breath of fresh air for parents of teenagers.
P
att and Steve Saso acknowledge that parenting teens can be complex and frusrating. But they invite us to worry less and stay cool during the thunder years by focusing on time, limits, and caring, or T.L.C.
You'll find help, hope, and plenty of good humor on nearly 30 diverse topics.

"Finally a book that takes the anxiety out of addressing your teen. The Sasos provide a developmental explanation of adolescent behavior and offer concrete steps to deal with difficult situations. The Yogi-isms sprinkled throughout remind parents to have a sense of humor. "
- Gilda Fracchia, Publisher
Bay Area Parent Magazine

In their book, the Sasos offer sage advice to help families maintain strong relationships through the often-turbulent teenage years. The book teaches parents how to relate when needed, and to relent when necessary, offering support without infringing on their teenagers burgeoning sense of freedom.

"I'm glad I read these words of wisdom before my girls became teens!"
- Richard Carlson author of the best seller Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

Patt and Steve Saso navigated all the parenting perils from infancy to preteen insecurity, but nothing could prepare them for the unpredictability of adolescence.  In their new award-winning book, 10 Best Gifts For Your Teen (Sorin Books), the Saso's offer valuable advice to help families maintain strong relationships through the often turbulent teenage years.

"The Saso's have written a terrific guide for parents wading through the muddy waters of raising teens. As a high school guidance counselor, I have recommended this book to many parents, and have had great response both from the parents and their teens. A great way to narrow down the point of conversation with your teen and make some mutually agreeable progress. Teens feel respected by the way this book characterizes their needs. Parents feel supported in their need to find common ground with their teens. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with teens." - Maureen Kerr from San Jose, CA

In this dispatch from the parenting trenches, the Saso's share personal and professional anecdotes, detailing what adolescents want and need from their parents for emotional support.  Teenagers will test the limits.  Parents will make mistakes,  but no matter how distant and resentful they appear to be, or how disrespectful of parental authority, teenagers internalize their parents' words and actions.

"Well written, organized, and an important read for frustrated parents trying to do the best they can. It's a bittersweet time watching my son go through this stage in his life. "10 Best Gifts..." has helped me realize that his moody, sulking, "Aw Mom!", "Whatever!" moments should not be taken too personally. The kid who used to love his mom to pieces probably still does. And now, more than ever, he needs me to be on top of my parenting skills. This book will give you the strength and wisdom to do just that." - A reader from Ann Arbor, MI

With 10 Best Gifts For Your Teen - which include respect, room, role-modeling, responsibility and reconciliation - the Saso's have given a gift to parents across the country who want their teenager's transition from childhood to adulthood to be a smooth and rewarding one.




AUDIO RESOURCES
"I have been listening to the tapes all this week to and from work and they are really sinking in. In fact, my friend at work who listened to the tapes got into an argument with her son one morning. She felt really bad and when she got to work she thought, "What would the Saso's do?" She then called her son and apologized. Her son said, "That's OK, Mom." She said he was really ecstatic. My friend said that she would never have thought to apologize before. So, you see, Patt and Steve, you are really touching many lives in very positive ways. What a wonderful gift you are to us all." - P.H., Seattle, WA
