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
• How to manage teen risk-taking
• Exactly what problems require professional attention
• What problems require "letting go"
• The Four Cardinal Sins (What not to do!)
• The relationship between parent-teen communication and adolescent safety
• The five ways to improve your relationship
• What role to take: Observer, Advisor, Negotiator, Director
• How do you respond to emotional blackmail
• From fashion to passion: guidelines for specific problems

Concise and encouraging, Surviving Your Adolescents does not assume that parents of teens have infinite amounts of time energy or patience. Dr Phelan's message is clear: you are neither alone or powerless. With the guide, you can survive your adolescents.

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