About this listen
Turn back the clocks! Your sweet child has morphed into a teen. And it's no longer just a messy bedroom or an attitude with a capital "A" causing concern. There's a whole new range of issues on the horizon. What if your daughter texts a naked picture to a "boyfriend" ...which he then forwards to the entire class? What if your son becomes increasingly withdrawn...Or your child is being bullied online? Would you know what to do? You could read a whole book on teen psychology - but who has the time! As a parent, what you need most is quick and candid advice for dealing with the issue at hand. After all, if you say the right thing you will open up the lines of communication, but say the wrong thing ...and watch out.
A Survival Guide to Parenting Teens is the solution. Covering a broad range of issues from the terrifying (sex, drinking, drugs, depression) to the frustrating (defiance, laziness, conformity, entitlement), parenting expert Joani Geltman approaches each of the 80 topics with honesty and a dash of humor. Want to understand why teens do what they do? Joani reveals what they are thinking and feeling - and what developmental factors are involved. She then explains how to approach each problem in a way that lets your kid know you "get it" and leads to truly productive conversations. From lying to sexting to falling grades, the teenage years can be an uphill battle. Here is the no-nonsense guide you need to get your teen talking, listening, and back on track.

What every parent or carer of a teenager needs
What did you like most about A Survival Guide to Parenting Teens?
Practical, practical, practical (read too many theoretical books). This book just hits all the right spots and the humour helps too. Opened my eyes. I have 4 children - 2 are already teenagers and one is just out of it. The information is relevant for parents who have children living with them of any age. Providing young people with strageies to get out of their mess is superb advice.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Survival Guide to Parenting Teens?
Teaching adults how to desensitize themselves from using rude expressions, LOL. Needed for straight talking to your teens. Joani tells you to go into your bathroom and say the word out loud 100 times!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no
Any additional comments?
I am recommending it to other parents and carers because its the real deal.
