Parenting Teenagers

#3 – Troubled Teenagers – Identifying and Dealing With Tough Issues

The title and subject of this e-book is not meant to alarm you, but the undeniable fact is this: during your child's teenage years, there can be some trying times and difficult circumstances.

Like alcohol, drugs, "bad" friends, gangs, "cutting", abusive relationships, and even sexual identity issues.

In addition to that, on a deep level, your teen is probably ashamed, afraid, or incapable to ask for help. It is going to be up to you to recognize your teen's problem and to make the first move to recovery.

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.

Uniquely, this series contains actual stories and input from today's teenagers. In this issue, Botto also included input from parents.

It's usually a surprise to parents when their teen was caught with drugs, or is found to be in a gang. Not many parents are aware that their teen is "cutting", or is planning to run away. As a parent, sometimes you feel helpless in the face of these issues.

In Troubled Teenagers – Identifying and Dealing with Tough Issues, Botto shows you how to identify these unhealthy behaviors, and what to do about them. Your teen needs your help more than ever, and not only that, they require your understanding.

Improperly addressed, these behaviors can cause serious physical and emotional harm, and even the death of your child.

"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."

When it comes to teen behavior problems, a teen's attitude is their biggest enemy. Teens are vulnerable to peer pressure, and they often want to try new things to fit in.

They are also convinced that they are in complete control and can stop anytime.

Teens are very conscientious of these behaviors – they will not leave drug paraphernalia where you can find it, or leave blood in the bathroom for you to discover.

The good news is: there are clear warning signs, things your teen cannot hide. And they are outlined in noted parent/teen expert Christina Botto's e-book Troubled Teenagers – Identifying and Dealing with Tough Issues.

• Running Away from home
• Drinking and drug use
• Watching for drug use without being obvious about it
• Abuse vs. edition
• Most common street drugs and how they are taken
• Helping your teen stay sober after rehab
• Cutting/Self-Injury and Self Mutilation
• Gangs and Criminal Activities
• Sexuality Issues
• Is your Teen is in an abusive Relationship?

Teenagers need help and guidance, but it can sometimes be difficult for parents to recognize when to intervene in their teenager's life.

Today's teenagers face different problems and challenges than those you experienced as a teen. Being able to tell the difference between normal teenage behavior and self-destructive, hurtful behavior is crucial.

Only by first knowing "why" can you tackle the problem head on, and work towards a solution.

In Troubled Teenagers - Identifying and Dealing with Tough Issues, Botto dives into these issues in a straightforward manner, and gives you the tools you need to truly "be there" for your teen, and help him or her cope with life's biggest challenges.
