Obstinate, difficult, angry, a bit too challenging? If these are words you've used to describe your lovable yet prickly teenager, best-selling author, father, and world-wide parenting expert Brad Wilcox and his younger sidekick Jerrick Robbins show you how to connect with your insufferable teen.
A teen’s job is to be difficult and most do it really, really well. But what about you? You want to hug that hedgehog, right? But you don’t want to get hurt. No problem. With entertaining stories and 12 principles that open the cages, unlock the doors, gently tear down those walls, and get you talking, How to Hug a Hedgehog explores everything from communication to what you might have missed on the teen “warning label.”
Wilcox and Robbins help you face your worst fears, effectively handle pressure and stress, and answer the hardest question of all: “What happens if I fail?”
