Raising a teen is a tricky part of the parenting journey but the teenage years do not need to be terrifying. Multiple studies have found distracted parenting, and low levels of parental warmth and support contribute to behavioural problems, insecurity, and emotional difficulties in adolescents.

  • How to avoid the most common mistakes 99 percent of teen parents fall into when parenting their teen
  • The secrets to ensuring you and your teen deal with conflict effortlessly and without damage to your relationship
  • How to make sure your teen talks transparently with you and listens actively
  • Why your teenager will learn to value you and your family members even if they do not normally spend much time with you
  • How to use natural and controlled consequences, so that your teen learns to own their problems and solutions
  • Why parent-teen conflict can actually have benefits and how to deal with conflict when it happens
  • Why your adolescent will not only benefit from the 7 strategies you put into place but also appreciate you more in life
  • And much more...

Scientific evidence looking at teenagers shows that even implementing a few basic ideas and strategies can help to resolve even the most difficult issues between you and your teenager. Even if you are a busy full-time working parent, these essential parenting strategies will help you to parent your child in the most effective way.

Comprehensive guide for parents of teens

As a parent of two teenage boys, it was very reassuring to know that their behavior is a normal phase during these years, it just help me to validate and confirmed that to have a better relationship with my teens we should come from a place of trust and respect. In a simple explanation yet very powerful message the author made me realize that natural consequences of decisions made by our kids are more valuable instead of imposing our will over them.
What I liked the most was to learn the different styles of parenting, and how I can customize and adapt the style depending on the phase our teens are going through.
The narrator does a great job on this Audiobook, it kept me attentive and engaged. All in all, a comprehensive insight into a teenager mind

A helpful trip down memory lane

I have some family members with teenage sons and daughters. I often hang out with them, so I figured that listening to this audiobook would help me better relate to them. And while I’m not a parent myself, I figured that knowing the right strategies could help me engage my teenage family members better and keep the peace between all of us a bit more.

I definitely think this audiobook gave me the tools to do just that. But, more importantly, it helped me remember what it was like to be a teenager and see the world through their eyes. With that refreshed perspective, I’m confident I’ll be able to make conversations more engaging and reduce the number of arguments we all have in the future. I’m fairly confident that will be the case for parents who listen to this one as well.

Helpful for the future

My son is rapidly approaching this age and I wanted some advice or just insight into teenage life in todays world. I’ve listened to a few books on the subject and I really liked this one.

I found the audio helpful and took away some main points that I will use in the future. I liked how it was laid out with every strategy having its own chapter dedicated to it.

Great Info!

It's useful book for figuring out why your child isn't getting a logical explanation after several attempts. I agree that teens want to spend more time with their friends than with their parents, and it's not just because they like more stuff related to their age, but also because they are going through a lot of changes by identifying themselves in this world, and we, as parents, need to understand and help them. I like the idea of this book showing what parents do wrong and why it is hard for teens to understand their parents. The author helps to understand where you as a parent are and what your style of communicating with your child is. Personally, I remember some filings when I was a teen, and I see that in my child now, and it helps me understand my child better, and this book helps me remember more similar situations that I have forgotten. One of the issues is that we, as parents, don’t pay enough attention, not only to what the child says but also to the way he/she behaves. They may need our help, but they can’t tell us. The author gives a helpful explanation of how to deal with day-to-day situations with teens. It is a helpful chapter since it happens in all families. It is kind of a short, detailed explanation of what to do to avoid aggression or child punishment and build a healthy relationship with your kid.

Excellent !

Great book with good tips and guidelines to help you to understand teens as much as you can. Also, you'll know about the latest research of science all about how young people see things and behave. Especially at these very special times, we are all going through many challenges as adults as well as teens - helping our children in the best way is so vital for their wellbeing and also for us to have healthy relationships within our family and communities. I highly recommend this book and believe you'll find some good information which you've never heard before!
