Old strategies stop working. Kids start asserting autonomy. Control fails. On the Glide gives you a framework for what comes next — how to step from \"driver\" to \"consultant\" without crashing the system mid-flight. Why everything that worked before stops working, what to put in its place, and how to recognize the signals that you're slipping back into control mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT'S INSIDE (14 CHAPTERS · 4 PARTS)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePART I — THE BASICS\u003cbr\u003eSystem assessment · why control fails · the gap · reset protocols\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePART II — THE MECHANICS\u003cbr\u003eRuntime steering · momentum · social OS · identity \u0026amp; belonging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePART III — THE EXPORT\u003cbr\u003eThe long game · self-steering · autonomy under pressure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePART IV — THE ARCHITECTURE\u003cbr\u003eReturn architecture · role shift · burnout · the launch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEST FOR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Parents of kids ages 6–14, especially during the tween and early-teen transition\u003cbr\u003e— Analytical parents who prefer frameworks to feelings\u003cbr\u003e— Readers tired of generic \"be present with your child\" advice\u003cbr\u003e— Parents who like to highlight, mark up, and re-reference their tools\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFORMAT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback. 330 pages.
