Drawing on Glenda Hatchett’s experience in juvenile court and as a parent, this guide addresses the pressures and conflicts that can strain communication between adults and teens. It organizes its advice around seven strategies for greater parental involvement and for sustaining a strong parent-child relationship. Drug and alcohol abuse, truancy, date rape, and school violence are among the issues used to frame the book’s concerns, while concrete examples and personal anecdotes link those topics to everyday family decisions. The emphasis is on direct communication, active participation in a child’s life, and practical ways to address difficult situations.

Book overview

Parents have it tough. Kids have it tough, too. And few people are in a better position to guide readers through these tough times than Judge Glenda Hatchett. As chief presiding judge of one of the largest juvenile court systems in the country, she gained a front-row perspective on the hot-button social issues of our time -- including drug and alcohol abuse, truancy, date rape, and school violence. As presiding judge on the hit television series Judge Hatchett, she continues to build bridges between parents and their lost, angry, and alienated teens. And, as a parent, she's turned her professional experiences to personal advantage, helping her own children navigate through some of the more difficult dilemmas facing young people today.
Using her experiences as a judge and a parent, Judge Hatchett shares with readers seven simple strategies to becoming more involved in a child's life and maintaining a strong relationship. Including concrete examples and illuminating anecdotes, Judge Hatchett says what she means and means what she says in this essential guide to raising safe, smart, and successful children ... even in the tough times.
