BE THE PARENT YOUR TEENAGER NEEDS.
Teens retreat to their rooms for lots of reasons: gaming, social media, low self-esteem or just establishing independence. The problem is, if your teen won’t talk to you, it’s very hard to know what’s going on, when to worry and how best to help.
This book offers concrete tips on how you can maintain a good relationship and support your teen’s wellbeing despite that often-closed bedroom door, including:
real-world wins and everyday actions to build connection
the blueprint for how to get a reluctant teen to spend time with you (and why it really matters that you persevere)
tips on how to communicate effectively (without nagging!)
strategies for tackling tricky issues like compulsive gaming, obsessive phone use and social anxiety
an honest look at the difficult emotions that we experience when our child starts pushing us away
The presence of a caring, supportive adult is the most important factor in helping teens grow into happy young adults. This book will help both you and your teen rise to the challenges of these tricky transitional years and come out on the other side stronger.
