Traversing the teen years is tricky and challenging for most parents. Pornography, sex, cyber bullying, body piercing, drug experimentation and tattoos are all part of adolescent life. How do you remain an effective, strong and compassionate parent, able to talk to your children as they become adult? This hands-on manual contains tools on how to keep up communication with your teen.

Over 100 issues are discussed and are followed up with practical 'what to do' ideas. Includes: Brain and body changes; Parent-teen conflict; Implementing rules and family values; Saying no; Narcissism and entitlement; Helicopter and Tiger parenting.
