About the Book

Stay connected through the tween and teen years, feel less alone, and tackle today’s toughest parenting issues.

Academic stress, mental health, tech usage, competitive athletics, self-esteem issues, adolescent apathy, disrespectful behavior―it’s tough to be a teen these days, and just as tough to parent one. If you’re in the thick of it with your adolescent―or if you’re getting a jumpstart on this difficult time―this book can help you untangle the complex challenges and improve your relationship with your kids. In You’re Not a Failure: My Teen Doesn’t Like Me Either, beloved parenting blogger Whitney Fleming empowers parents to shift their mindsets and approach their relationship with their teens with renewed optimism and understanding.

There’s no perfect guidebook for parenting tweens and teens because there is no one-size-fits-all approach that actually works when it comes to raising kids. Each parent-child dynamic is different, and each adolescent has a unique personality and challenges all their own. But mostly, raising adolescents means parents will learn about themselves―the good, the bad, and the ugly. With this book, you can flip the narrative about raising teenagers by taking control of your emotions and responses to create a loving, supportive relationship. 

You Will Learn…

How to unpack and work through the complicated emotions, issues or traumas you may bring into the relationship with your big kids

Let go of fear and anxiety of today’s complicated world to help your kids take risks and build resilience

Manage and rethink your approach to social media, smartphones, and other unprecedented parenting challenges,

Challenge yourself and your family values, and redefine what it means to be there for your child in every way–and establish a long-term relationship with them.

“You’re Not a Failure is a rare source of inspiration and guidance for those preparing teenagers…”

“While many parenting books counsel us on how we can get our teenagers to meet our expectations, Whitney Fleming asks us to take a different approach―to see our kids for who they were created to be, set down our expectations of who we think they need to become, and evolve alongside them as trusted, relatable guides on their path to independence. You’re Not a Failure is a rare source of inspiration and guidance for those preparing teenagers to successfully launch into adulthood. During this challenging transition, parents need all the support they can get―and Whitney Fleming offers it in spades.”

Rachel Macy Stafford, New York Times bestselling author of Hands Free Mama and creator of Soul Shift
