description: Timely Guidance and Inspiration for Parents of Children in Crisis The bestselling authors of The Roller-Coaster Years , Parenting 911 , and Cliques draw deeply on their faith and the rich Catholic spiritual tradition in this guide for parents of children in crisis.In Good Parents, Tough Times , authors Charlene C. Giannetti and Margaret Sagarese focus on the spiritual well-being of the parent as much as the behavior of the child. The authors draw parallels between the real-life struggles parents face today and those endured by the saints. They believe that the qualities that enabled the saints to face great troubles—charity, knowledge, faith, hope, patience, serenity, truth, and humility—can help parents cope with a troubled child.“This book provides what every parent a chance to learn from the saints and to look to them for encouragement and practical advice.”—Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb’s S upper“Deep, yet simple and practical, this book will help parents and all who have teens in their lives to know better how to listen, pray, and help.”—Fr. Paul Keenan, author of Heartstorming “[ Good Parents, Tough Times ] not only offers parents the saints’ very practical advice about raising teens with faith, hope, and love, but also helps parents receive the grace of the saints’ powerful intercession.”—Bert Ghezzi, author of Voices of the Saints and Mystics and Miracles
