Description

Parents may survive the terrible twos and the first years of school all right, but the teenage years bring entirely new and alien creatures. So, parents have a choice: either post that teenager on Craigslist and visit him when he reaches normalcy again (in about ten years) or choose to experience the best, most fun years of life–together! The secret is in how the parental cards are played.

With his signature wit and common sense psychology, internationally recognized family expert and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Kevin Leman helps parents communicate with the whatever generation; establish healthy boundaries and workable guidelines; gain respect–even admiration–from their teenager; turn selfish behaviour around; navigate the critical years with confidence; pack their teen s bags with what they need for life now and in the future; and become the major difference maker in their teen s life. Teenagers can successfully face the many temptations of adolescence and grow up to be great adults. And parents, Dr. Leman says, are the ones who can make all the difference, because they count far more in their teenager s life than they ll ever know…even if their teenager won t admit it (at least until she s in college and wants to know how to do the laundry).
