Hi everyone,

Has anyone read An Unchanged Mind:The Problem of Immaturity in Adolescence by John McKinnon, a psychiatrist?  His book makes total sense of the way my son was and of his and our troubles.  He runs a place called Montana Academy.

it is so great to share resouces, especially for those parents who have younger kids.  I know many of us with older children wish we had be given information that would have helped us parent our kids through this better.  Now we need a book for how to help our Adult kids... .     Smiling (click to insert in post)

Thanks Reality!
