In her book, You and Me Kid, Nancy Washburn does a magnificent job of clearly defining the unique challenges of providing adolescents with the support, empathy, and guidance they desperately need to overcome their natural confusion and self-doubt. Drawing from her many years as a professor of child and family studies, parent educator, workshop leader, and from her personal experiences, Nancy sheds light on how to develop positive and nurturing support to teenagers. What a great book--a must-read for every parent and teacher who truly wants to make a difference in the life of their child or student! She has created a mosaic that clearly describes what really matters most in nurturing these young lives. Her Three Messages of Love, Faith, and Hope provide a roadmap of how to develop trust, acceptance, and affirmation in the hearts and minds of teenagers. Her stories and tremendous writing skills make this book a joy to read. It is a treasure and an invaluable resource for all parents and teachers. Bravo!" Ken LaVigne, Author of COACH THE SOUL "As a marriage and family therapist with a focus on attachment, I appreciate this much-needed book that helps parents maintain a secure connection with their teen. With wise and kind counsel, she compassionately guides the parent in ways of being responsive to the specific developmental needs of a teen while at the same time being respectful of both the needs of the parent and the teen, with the goal of putting the relationship first. This kind of investment in the relationship, just when parents tend to pull back, insures a secure connection with their teen for many years ahead." Linda S. Flynn, MFT
