Description: "The Baby Boomers and older Gen Xers are parenting this new crew, aiming to ground them and instill great hope for the future. But Millennials face challenges greater, than any generation faced before them. Many spend all or part of their childhood without a father in the home. Technology including the Internet, is exposing them to adult material at increasingly young ages. They are subject to violent images that are more common than ever before in movies television and games. So parents still need to provide guidance Verhaagen aims to help parents with research and advice including how to teach determination problem solving emotional smarts, and resilience. His text includes vignettes and the personal experience of a psychotherapist/father."--BOOK JACKET
