PARENTS who:
During my twenty years in secondary education, I've served as an English teacher, tennis coach, student council advisor, high school assistant principal, and currently serve as the director of education for a therapeutic high school.
I launched Patterson Perspective Inc. in 2017 to deliver innovative support for teenagers and young adults within the academic and social realms. I provide adolescents and their parents with the necessary tools, resources, and strategies to achieve their defined objectives.
Having persevered through my own struggles with mental health and addiction, I'm extremely passionate about advocacy work and getting involved in channels that best serve today’s youth. When I'm not in the office, you can find me coaching my children's various teams, taking daily mental health walks, and supporting the endeavors of those who have a similar passion for helping others.
I've dedicated my life to education and helping children discover their authentic sense of self.

We don’t give teenagers enough credit. Teenagers are smarter, stronger and savvier than we allow them to be in outdated educational and parenting models. It doesn’t have to be this way! Parents have the opportunity to become fluent in the language of teen, to channel their innate love for teenagers into a proactive, assertive parenting model that will inevitably instill opportunities for vibrancy, authentic success, and happiness for our teenagers.
Readers will experience a solution-oriented, judgment-free, plug-and-play resource that provides a framework for successfully modifying their approach to parenting teenagers.
A MUST HAVE book for parents of teens!
- mb
This book is already my go-to guide for parenting my teenage boys! Daniel Patterson has an extraordinary gift for relating to and understanding teenagers and parents. This is not a one-size-fits-all parenting book. It asks us to think about our own philosophy and values while providing strategies to help us parent from within the framework of our family. A MUST HAVE book for parents of teens!"
I thought I outgrew parenting books
- amy s.
As a mom, I thought I outgrew parenting books by the time my kids were out of diapers. But then high school came, and with it, a million new questions. This book is a great resource for parents with older children. It will make you examine your own lifestyle choices and guide you in ways to consider a solution from all sides before diving in. I highly recommend this book for anyone with kids who are starting to grow up because the older they get, the faster it all seems to come at you."
