Seven years ago, two local parents, grappling with their own teenagers and young adults identified yet another unique life stage… from the teenage years into the twenties. They dubbed this period, “Grown and Flown,” and started a website and a Facebook page that soon grew to be “the #1 site for parents of teens and young adults.”

The site includes insights from 500 writers, experts, physicians, student advisor, psychologists, educators and parents and averages more than two million monthly page views.

Now the two, Lisa Heffernan and Mary Harrington, have published a book with advice from experts and parents on every issue you may confront as the parent of a teen. They called the book, “Grown and Flown: How to Support Your Teen, Stay Close as a Family and Raise Independent Adults.” It’s filled with advice on topics like these:

-How to engage teens in meaningful conversationGrownandFlown
