Thank you for writing this important book. Your insights were fascinating and relevant to our recent struggles with our teen - although of course very different by nature. The Animals categories were totally believable and I think I’ve been all of them! I think everyone should read this book - I’m certainly encouraging my husband and kids to read it.
