A Practical Guide to Effective Parenting

This page provides the references and other resources for each chapter in the book Raising Teens in the 21st Century.  A concerted effort has been  made to identify the references that informed my thinking and writing on each topic.

Because these ideas and strategies have been evolving across decades, it is certain that I have ended up incorporating the wisdom and experiences of other therapists into my own practices. Any awareness of having been directly influenced by them will have drifted back into the mists of time (that are becoming more impenetrable with each passing year).

In addition, books and internet resources have been listed that provide a more in-depth and comprehensive treatment of the topics addressed in each chapter. This is by no means an exhaustive list. These are the resources I have found useful within the scope of my practice. There are many more available. These are just the ones that I (and the parents I know) have found particularly helpful or good.  I have received no remuneration or compensation for any of these resources or products.

The decision to list the reference page on this website (rather than in the book itself) was based on a desire to be able to update the resources for readers.
