Not by Chance

How Parents Boost Their Teen's Success in and After Treatment

By: Tim Thayne

Narrated by: Tim Thayne

Your struggling teenager is going to a residential or wilderness treatment program. Their addictions, learning disabilities, or emotional/behavioral issues have brought you to a moment of decision. Heartsick, anxious, and exhausted, questions bounce endlessly around your mind. Will this work? Was this really necessary? Will she ever forgive me? Can we handle him at home when the time comes? Dr. Tim Thayne delivers the answers in his groundbreaking book Not by Chance. As an owner/therapist of wilderness and residential programs, Thayne was frustrated when young people made monumental progress, only to return home where things quickly unraveled. His mission became to vastly improve long-term success by crafting and proving a model to coach parents on their power to lead out through full engagement during treatment and management of the transition home.

Teens, learning to transition into adult hood

This is an other excellent example of the many teaching tools available to the average person. It seems we live in the golden age of digital learning. This book gives a thorough and comprehensive look into many of the challenges associated with teens transitioning into adult hood and transitioning out of wilderness programs back into the home. It delt with primarily 18 and older which is particularly pertinent in my case. Very thoughtful and helpful information. Highly recommend?
