Parenting teens is tough. Fortunately, some authors have written about this stage of family life with insight and compassion, and we recommend their books whenever we can. Some of these experts have contributed essays to our Grown & Flown book, and we have been fortunate to be able to interview many others.

The following is our compilation of some of our favorite Parenting Books for the Teen Years and Books About College Admission and Paying for College. We also recommend websites and podcasts that are excellent resources for parents.

Note: We are a reader-supported site and receive compensation from purchases made through some of these links.
