FLORENCE, Wis. — The Florence County Library will host guest speaker Amy Betters-Midtvedt, author of “You’ll Make It (and They Will Too): Everything No One Talks About When Parenting Teens,” at 10 a.m. Saturday at the library.

As a seasoned educator, mother, and Today Parenting contributor, her book offers a lifeline of hope for parents of teens who feel adrift on the real and raw parenting journey, presented with wisdom and faith–and a touch of candid humor.

“‘You’ll Make It (and They Will Too)’ is as much about navigating the minefields of anxiety and mental health as it is setting curfews, convincing kids to bring their dishes back to the kitchen, and deciding whose turn it is to have the car keys,” Betters-Midtvedt said. “It’s about dancing in the kitchen with soon-to-be adult kids who are taller than you. It’s making appointments with a therapist and a college admissions counselor in the same week.”
