The ultimate guide to raising teenagers for parents who want to understand what's going on with their children and why - by two parents who have become experts.
Every parent wonders if they are doing a good job. When their kids become teenagers they begin to doubt themselves even more.
By 16, one in three Australian teenagers has had sex. By 14, one in two drinks alcohol weekly. After car accidents, suicide is the most common cause of teenage death. The statistics are frightening - and even worse if you are the parent of a teenager.
'What To Do When Your Children Turn Into Teenagers' gives parents answers they desperately need. It covers the key issues that arise with each stage of the teenage years including:
- The physical and emotional highs and lows of puberty
- Diet, health and eating disorders
- Problems at school and university
- Drugs and risk-taking
- How to protect your marriage when the children are out of control
- Tips for resolving conflicts with your teenagers
- Where to go when you need to call in the professionals
If you ever wanted to get your teenager to clean their room - without a full-scale argument - this is the book for you. If you want them to still love you as they become empowered adults, you can't do without it.
