“How To Train Your Parents in 6-1/2 Days is a ‘parenting’ book for teens - sort of a how to get your parents to behave,” says author Margit Crane of her latest title. “I wanted to write a book that breaks down exactly what parents are thinking and feeling so that tweens and teens can learn that this isn’t a contest over who will win. Both teens and parents can hold onto their dignity and power without overpowering each other.”
Written in a lighthearted tone with plenty of humor, Margit Crane offers loads of tricks, tools, strategies and scripts to entertain and instruct. Says one teen reader, “I loooooooove this book! It’s so good, so funny, and oh so helpful.” Adds educator Dr. Betina Hsieh, “[This book] is an awesome tool (maybe even a secret weapon) for teenagers, helping them to see their own power in any communication situation, when it otherwise might feel like no one will ever understand them.”
