We ve all been challenged by our children at one time or another, but what about every day by dozens of kids of all ages and backgrounds? Now parents, teachers, counselors, and pastors can benefit from the collective wisdom of Boys Town, one of the most successful programs for troubled youth in the country.

Extending across genders, parental roles, financial resources, and extenuating circumstances, Father Val cuts to the chase with humor, charm, and real stories to help every parent or influencer of young people persevere and grow closer in love and respect for each other.

This is an indispensable handbook to help everyone start making better choices today.
