Help Me... I Have a Teenager!! The Nitty Gritty Guide to Parental Sanity New Edition

The untimate self-help book for parents of teenagers! Move beyong the hassles...with positive solutions for puzzled parents. As the parent of a 14 year-old boy said "I think a Martian has taken over my teenager!" You may be in a state of shock because you no longer recognize the child who has now reached adolescence: moods change, identities shift and attitudes reverse. Parents struggle because the stratgies that worked with an eight year-old backfire when used with a thirteen year-old. Since teenagers don't come with instruction manuals, parents are in need of a new set of parenting tools. Help Me... I Have a Teenager!! offers parents of typical teenagers (if there is such a thing as a typical teenager) fresh ideas, specific common sense solutions and simple, easy to use techniques that really work. This book teaches ways to stay involved, how to talk to your teenager, to be in charge without being charged up and explains the basics necessary to raise a competent, capable, positive teenager. Help Me... I Have a Teenager!! offers you hope and encouragement.
