What They Do informs readers of the needs and relational abilities of teenagers. Gage compares the needs of young adults to the gauges on an automobile. We could all use such amenities. He provides direction on monitoring or identifying these emotional gauges and shows parents how to respond when needs are unmet. At this point, Gage prompts parents with the above emotional gauges to step back and conduct a self-inventory.
Gage encourages better parenting skills and insights to bolster family relationships.
It does not envy or boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
