Is your daughter 14? Are you struggling to know what's going on
inside her head? Are you worried? This is the book that can help
you understand how she's feeling, what she's thinking and what you
need to do to help her navigate her tricky teens to grow and become
a fabulous woman. BEING 14 gives a voice to every teen girl.
Madonna King has interviewed 200 14-year-old girls, talked to
successful school teachers, psychologists, CEOs, police and
neuroscientists to reveal the social, psychological and physical
challenges every 14-year-old girl is facing today. - How much
independence do they need? - What is the power of a friendship
group? - How do you help build self-confidence? - Why the obsession
with selfies, social media and FOMO? - How are parents unknowingly
making life so much harder for them? Overwhelmingly, these young
girls - on the brink of womanhood - struggle to tell their parents
how they feel. That's why BEING 14 gives you the answers you are
looking for. It's your daughter, talking to you. And her hope,
beyond anything, is that you will listen.
50 Questions to Ask Your Teens is a guide for parents and carers
navigating the confusing and exciting world of adolescence. For
anyone who wants to better connect with their teens and help them
to be functioning, self-aware and kind adults, Daisy Turnbull
offers a simple framework with clever questions to engage your teen
and pre-teen from age 10 onwards. In 50 Questions to Ask Your
Teens, you'll find questions that encourage your teen to master the
practical as well as trickier topics, including friendships,
consent, self-compassion, managing conflict, mental health,
boundaries and media influences. Moving beyond the predictable
milestones of childhood, this book addresses the nuanced social and
emotional needs of teens that we often assume are being met
elsewhere. Parents and carers will learn how to promote their
teens' awareness of the world, and encourage them to take
responsibility and understand consequences and risks in a
fast-changing world. Underpinned by research and informed by
Daisy's own experiences as a teacher of teens for more than a
decade, a Lifeline counsellor, and a mother of two, 50 Questions to
Ask Your Teens is a warm, relatable book that's perfectly in tune
with where teens are at right now, and the ideal starting place for
parents to raise an adult they can hang out with.
