I like that Botto's focus is twofold: the wellbeing of your teenager, and the wellbeing of your parent-teen relationship. If you want to continue to foster a close relationship with your growing child built on trust ad respect, help your teen successfully navigate through these confusing and exciting years, and genuinely be there for your teen, this guide is for you.....Absolute Must Read!"

"I am the father of a 16 year old son. Last night he and I had an episode. I went on the net, looking for articles on parenting angry teenagers. I saw a short article on Christina's book and bought it in a matter of seconds. I read most of it last night. It's as though she was describing me and my son. Her book is fantastic. Thank you for the insight, Christina."

Being a teenager today is much different than it was just twenty short years ago. What motivated you as a teen may not necessarily motivate your teenage children. That’s why a depth of understanding is essential - once you understand where your teen is coming from and why they do what they do, it becomes much easier to relate to them (and they to you.)
In addition, you, being the adult, are the one that will need to take the step. There are precious few “how to relate to your parents” books out there (and no teen worth their salt would read them anyway.)
|
Teenagers have their own world, and their own culture. And it’s very different than the one you remember.
If you're interested in improving life with your teen, "Help Me With My Teenager! A Step-by-Step Guide for Parents that Works" will give you the tools to start creating the relationship you really want.
Here are just a few of the strategies the book covers in detail…
|

| “Nothing…” |
| “Whatever…” |
| “You don’t understand…” |
