Denny Coates - My Story...

Dennis E. Coates, Ph.D.

I'm Denny Coates, author of this blog, Building Personal Strength, which is focused mostly on personal development - improving personal strength and communication skills.

My other website, How to Raise a Teenager, is devoted to enlightening parents about the momentous changes that are happening in their teen's brain, as well as providing a portal to other experts about parenting teens.

I'm the author of two "heads-up" books for pre-teens and young teens:

Conversations with the Wise Uncle (for boys)

Conversations with the Wise Aunt (for girls)

Adult discussion guides for these books are available free.

And this free eBook for parents: How to Give Your Teen a Superior Mind

I'm also the creator of Strong for Parenting, an online personal development system for parents of teens.

But who am I, really? Usually authors don't share too much information about themselves. Not so here. For starters, here's a brief bio.

But if you really want to know more about me, click on the tag My Story... below. Over 125 articles refer to my childhood, my West Point and Vietnam experiences, and my life since. Not just for the sake of self-disclosure, but to tell stories that have a point.

Or if you want to get into my head and find out what I'm thinking, you can browse among the categories listed in the right sidebar. I've been writing this blog for nearly three years and about 700 articles are archived here.

TMI (too much information)? If not, enjoy...
