Adolescents Don't Have to Drive You Crazy

Living with a teenager is no picnic. There are times when you must bite your tongue as they push towards independence. Or - if you sense there is trouble - there are times when you must take charge. This book gives you a step-by-step approach that will help end the hassles and offer concrete solutions.

In Surviving Your Adolescents you will learn:

• What is normal adolescent behaviour

"With his trademark practicality and humor, Dr. Phelan provides parents with empowering nuts-and-bolts guidance."
- Irene Wood, Parent and Editor.
