Resumen del Editor

Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg is a leading authority on teenage behavior. Surviving Adolescents is the sensible, sanity-saving guide every household needs.

Young people today enter puberty earlier than ever before and leave home later. The good news is that teenagers aren't impossible to live with, especially if parents adopt the common-sense strategies set out in this book.

Surviving Adolescents is a clear and very down-to-earth manual, drawing on Dr. Carr-Gregg's wealth of experience and wisdom. It has advice on all the thorny issues that confront families with teenagers - sexuality, risky behaviors, laziness, school and study problems, and much more. And it is full of practical tips for everyday survival, including: communicating effectively with young people, defusing family conflict, setting limits, keeping the stress of parenting at bay, and avoiding common mistakes like fighting over things that don't matter.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Calling this a 'concise guide to surviving daily life with adolescents,' the author, an authority on teenagers, provides an information-packed audio. His broad perspective will empower parents by encouraging them to stand back from the conflicts and negativity of raising teenagers and realize they're not alone. With insightful quotations and findings from developmental psychology, he encourages one to believe that the issues can be grasped and that one can prevent one's teenagers from being murdered, committed involuntarily, or sent to prison. The charming Richard Aspel is a reassuring narrator who is calming and steadying. He seems to understand the parent's dilemma as well as he does the author's ideas and scholarship. This outstanding parenting audio, full of hope and encouragement, transcends the genre." ( AudioFile)
