The book I wish I'd read when my two were teenagers! Navigating teenage years isn't always easy but through first hand and personal experience Tish reassures and guides us through some of the challenges and behavioural patterns they may experience. You'll even recognise some of them in yourself! Sarah McCurdie, Parent and Jamie’s Farm Supporter
