Parenting Teenagers

You're not alone - many parents have gone through the same thing. YOU know you care about your child, but teens have a very different way of thinking and expressing themselves.

Showing your teen that you genuinely care is not a hard thing to do; problem is, what may be caring to you as an adult may be superficial, unreasonable, or even come across as cold to your teen.

You can tell your son or daughter a million times that you care, but how do you make sure your teen really get's the message?

Christina Botto, author of the popular Help Me With My Teenager! A Step-by-Step Guide for Parents that Works, offers another essential tool to parents who are serious about reaching their teen.

In her new series, Fitting The Pieces, Botto will help you understand what goes on in your teen's mind and gain perspective into their world, while giving you insight to the motivations behind their actions and behavior.

Having your teen actually believe that you truly care is absolutely essential to building a strong, supportive relationship with your son or daughter. Of course, it's easier said than done if you don't know how teens see it.

Uniquely, this series contains actual stories and input from today's teenagers.

For example, do you want to know why 15 year old Rebecca knows that her mom cares about her? Or, on the other side of the coin, why 16 year old Matt thinks his mom treats his friends better than him? Or why Mary is comfortable talking to her dad, but not to her mom?

"I think your focus on input from teenagers is awesome and makes this a great book. I think so many parents are handicapped by not keeping up with the times. They need to realize that things have changed and the world is not as it was when they were teens."
