Overview

In Rethinking Your Teenager, family therapist Darby Fox challenges parents to redefine the goals of adolescence by reorienting their focus from what they want their child to be to on who they want their child to be. Darby not only equips parents with the insight to understand the changes taking place in their child's brain and body and support their adolescent's bid for independence, but also offers an approach that allows parents to engage their adolescent in a relationship instead of struggling in an endless battle for control. The book is organized around a series of persistent myths about adolescence, each of which the author tears down with a combination of cutting edge neuroscience research, developmental psychology, and her own mix of clinical observations and experience raising four children. Darby offers a new model for the parent-child relationship, encouraging parents to let go of the attempt to control their teenager and focus instead on creating mutual respect, providing structure and nurture, and encouraging independence in their developing teenager. She walks through the keys to combining structure and nurture and teaches parents how to connect with their teen while holding them accountable for their behavior.

Author Information

Darby Fox is a child and adolescent family therapist in private practice in Connecticut and New York. With over twenty years of experience, she is an expert on parenting, child psychology, and family topics. Appearing regularly on air and in print media, Fox covers a range of topics, from parenting questions and discipline techniques to current trends in child development. She has also collaborated with Meath Media Group to develop a television series called Fractured Family with Darby Fox. Erin Mallon is a vibrant part of the audiobook community. Listeners love her natural delivery and her smooth transitions between characters. Her youthful voice makes her a great match for children's and YA titles, while her darker, huskier tones delight fans of fiction, science fiction, mystery, and romance. Mallon's ratings on Audible.com are consistently high, she has received several AudioFile Earphones Awards, and she is an Audie Award finalist in 2020 for Abby Jimenez's The Friend Zone and was a SOVAS-nominated narrator in 2019 for Meghan March's Deal with the Devil. Her energetic performances are just right for children's titles. Her clear, clipped, and purposeful narration complements Gail Gibbons's children's nonfiction From Seed to Plant. She connects well with teen audiences through her sensitive performances. In Puddin', Book 2 of Julie Murphy's Dumplin' series, co-narrated with Kyla Garcia, Mallon's raspy, snarky delivery adds to the humor to the story. Another YA title, Rae Carson's Walk on Earth a Stranger: Good Seer Trilogy, Book 1, gives Mallon a chance to handle a diverse group of characters, and she does so with perfect pitch and pacing. She makes listeners feel what the characters feel, and that makes her a favorite of fans and critics. Many romance audiobooks call for more than one narrator. Mallon has narrated hundreds of romance titles, sometimes solo and sometimes with a partner. In Lauren Blakely's romantic comedy The Real Deal, Mallon is paired with Zachary Webber. Webber's charm and Mallon's whispery voice keep the chemistry between them humming in every scene. Luke Daniels joins her for the narration of Tanya Eby and Sarina Bowen's contemporary romance Man Hands. Their performances, filled with emotion and humor, won an Earphones Award. Mallon's top-notch narrations in mystery and suspense are performances to savor. In Christine Mangan's mystery set in Tangier, Tangerine, Mallon delivers a coolly logical sociopath, while in Sheila Webster Boneham's Animals in Focus Mysteries, Drop Dead on Recall and The Money Bird, her character voices, both human and animal, are believable and never overdone.
