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.
Adolescence marks a special and unique stage in human growth and
development, but it can be an extremely challenging time for both
parents and teenagers. In "The Parents' and Educators' Manual of
Teenage "Rebirth,"" author Bruce G. Bentley provides an
understanding of how teenagers think, feel, and experience
themselves in relation to others and the world with the goal of
assisting them in their battle to master adolescence.
To help those caring for teens gain a greater understanding of
child and adolescent psychology, Bentley applies principles of
those disciplines, along with psychologically pertinent literature,
to real-life stories of puberty, bullying, aggressive behavior,
abuse, and suicide. This manual provides parents and educators with
effective tools to understand, inform, challenge, and guide teens
through adolescence so they can develop an independent and
strengthened adulthood. It also offers teens a descriptive road map
of what they can expect and what they can do to help ease anxieties
and fears as they encounter life's uncertainties; it helps them to
be better prepared for the changes or "rebirths" into new realms of
relationships and responsibilities.
"The Parents' and Educators' Manual of Teenage "Rebirth"" aims
to ease the journey through the dark, mysterious, and wonderful
world of adolescence with its joys and struggles and beyond.
