How to Raise a Positive, Confident and Happy Teenager

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The teenage years can be a time when frustrations and conflict are inevitable, and emotions - such as anger - surface very easily. This often-turbulent time is when young adults need to build self-esteem and social skills to prepare them for life in the wider world.

If you worry that your teenager needs more confidence to help with issues such as finding new friends, first love, school stress and exams, body image, bullying, worrying or shyness, this book will help you.

Gael Lindenfield has created a list of 21 Golden Rules to help you raise a happy and self-assured teenager. And the first and most important is that your teen needs confident parents to set an inspiring example.

Gael's advice is aimed to build confidence in both parent and teenager and includes:
. Listen three times as much as you talk
. Give honest and focused feedback
. Review the rule book jointly and frequently
. Be a predictable parent rather than a best mate
. Respect a teen's need for privacy
. Be a safety net, not a security blanket
. Go for your own goals and dreams and they will too

With illuminating case histories and wise words from other parents and writers 'Confident Teens' shows you successful ways to communicate with an often uncommunicative teenager. Gael Lindenfield does much to reassure parents that while the teen years can be a time of worry they are also rewarding and fun.
