Today's world can be a daunting one for parents. Anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, loneliness, social media; the list goes on. Award-winning author, student wellbeing activist, and creator of The William Magee Institute for Student Wellbeing at the University of Mississippi, David Magee offers guidance on raising teens amid increasingly common challenges. Magee shares research-backed insights on how to:

- Decide when and if treatment is needed

- Be intentional about social media use and interactions

You'll find the guidance you need to feel prepared and tackle obstacles to your child's wellbeing in Things Have Changed.

Compelling & Heartfelt

Anyone who has a teen or preteen should read this book. Our kids are facing more pressure and challenges than humanly possible to manage. David shares his parenting story from the lens of love, forgiveness and selflessness. He recently spoke at my child’s school. My daughter came home talking about this great speaker and all that she learned. Thankful I had already listened to this book. Thank you David for sharing your story with so many teens and parents!
