A Positive Approach To Raising Happy, Healthy and Mature Teenagers
Adolescence can be a time of great stress and turmoil--not only for
kids going through it, but for their parents as well. It's normal
for teens to explore a new sense of freedom and to redefine the
ways in which they relate to their parents, and that process can
sometimes leave parents feeling powerless, alienated, or excluded
from their children's lives. These effects can be magnified even
further in this modern age of social networks, cell phones, and
constant digital distraction.
This newly revised and updated edition of "Positive Discipline for
Teenagers" shows parents how to build stronger bridges of
communication with their children, break the destructive cycles of
guilt and blame that occur in parent-teen power struggles, and work
toward greater mutual respect with their adolescents. At the core
of the Positive Discipline approach is the understanding that teens
still need their parents, just in different ways--and by better
understanding who their teens really are, parents can learn to
encourage both their teens and themselves, and instill good
judgment without being judgmental. The methods in this book work to
build vital social and life skills through encouragement and
empowerment--not punishment. Truly effective parenting is about
"connection" before "correction."
Over the years, millions of parents have come to trust Jane
Nelsen's classic Positive Discipline series for its consistent,
commonsense approach to raising happy, responsible kids. This new
edition is filled with proven, effective methods for coping with
such parenting challenges as:
-Fostering truly "honest" discussions with your teen
-Helping your teen handle the online world
-Turning mistakes into opportunities
-Keeping your sanity while raising your teen--and making sure your
own teenage issues aren't weighing you down
-Teaching your teen how to pursue the goal that make "them"
happy...and a few that make "you" happy too (like chores)
-Making sure you're on your teen's side, and that "they "know
that
-Avoiding the pitfalls of excessive control and excessive
permissiveness
