Though Ginsburg does not like comparing teens to toddlers, he does want parents and caregivers to think of them within the framework of their developmental stage, much like we think of kids in early childhood. Teens are supposed to push you away, temporarily Instead, Ginsburg believes a simple understanding of this time in young people’s lives can make all the difference for families. “You don’t write a book about easy things.”īut he doesn’t believe his book gives parents more hard tasks to complete. “That’s why you write a book about it,” he argued. As much as he enjoys working with adolescents, and celebrates them, he also understands the teen years can be challenging for parents and their children. Ginsburg is under no pretense that the adolescent years are easy - for anyone. “But also for you to understand it, because when you understand it, you know how to react.” “The whole idea is to tell you what’s going to come,” Ginsburg explained.
