Parenting by example. Using the simple, powerful message that
turned "Children Learn What They Live" into an international
bestseller with over 1.5 million copies in print, Drs. Dorothy Law
Nolte and Rachel Harris bring their unique perspective to families
with adolescents.
Structured, like the first book, around an inspirational poem,
"Teenagers Learn What They Live" addresses the turbulent teenage
years, when a stew of hormones, pressures, and temptations makes
for such extreme challenges for parents and children. "Teenagers"
addresses popularity and peer pressure ("If teenagers live with
rejection, they learn to feel lost"); the responsibilities of
maturity ("If teenagers live with too many rules, they learn how to
get around them./ If teenagers live with too few rules, they learn
to ignore the needs of others"); body image and the allure of
cigarettes, drugs, and alcohol ("If teenagers live with healthy
habits, they learn to be kind to their bodies"). Central to the
book are ways for parents to communicate with their teenage
children-including how to deal with being "tuned out" and when to
start the conversation again-and how to strike the right balance
between holding on and accepting a teen's growing independence.
Hundreds of examples of parent-child interactions cover everything
from the all-night graduation party to problems of sexual identity,
providing great guidance as well as effective conversation
starters.
