Short description

Parenting teenagers at times can be difficult and is an unknown journey for parents of teenage children. This book came about when one of the co-authors identified how he could improve communication between parents and their teenager after the teenager had 'ran away from home'. This book is unique. Personal experiences have been drawn by the authors to help improve parent-teenager relationships.

Extended description

Pat Ritter (co-author) of Closing The Gap was a police officer. His concern was when teenagers ran away from home. At first he didn't have any answers however after attending college to learn about a subject 'behaviour', his lecturer Bob O'Sullivan and Pat decided to write a book to help parents overcome issues with their teenagers.

This book was bought about by frustration. There had to be an answer to the issue of teenagers running away from home. Pat discovered the answer by attending college to learn skills in communication, conflict resolution and problem solving.

He used these newly learned skills to educate parents of teenagers with great success.

Finally when he'd discovered the holy grail of parent/teenager communication issues, he with Bob wrote and published 'Closing The Gap'.

Review by: Pineapple Sam on May 16, 2012 :
I read your sample and found similarities and could not stop reading so I purchased your book. I am glad I did. Even though I knew back of my mind most of the process mentioned in the book, I felt this was a great book to quickly refresh my memory. I am retired and have my last teenager graduating soon and found the book very helpful to smooth out the bumps in our relationship. I recommend this book as a valuable resource to all parents with teenagers. Thank you
