FREE: The Teen Survival Guide to Dating and Relating
Annie’s award winning book The Teen Survival Guide to Dating and Relating went out of print in 2008. Instead of letting this great relationship info vanish forever, Annie is giving it away for FREE as a PDF download. No strings attached. So here it is. Everything your tweens and teens need to know about guys, girls, growing up and getting along. Annie wrote it because kids should learn to create and maintain healthy relationships with siblings, friends, bf/gf and yes, with their parents too! This book is packed with 100+ email questions from teens and Annie’s answers to them. Hopefully your sons and daughters will read it and think about how it applies to them. So give them this book as a gift... for life. And if you’ve got friends with tweens & teens, pass it on to them. That’s what friends are for.

Parent Coaching
Annie works with parents who long for better communication with their tweens and teens. Via phone consultations, Annie offers unique insights into adolescence so that parents can better understand where their kids are coming from. As parents learn to listen with more compassion and respond to their teens more effectively the result is more respect, cooperation and peace in the family. Annie’s coaching is parent education tailored to your family situation. It is not therapy, nor is it intended as a substitute for family or individual therapy. For more information email Annie.
