Comedian Bill Cosby once declared that "all children are brain
damaged." If that's true for children, then imagine what can be
said about teenagers. They seem to like conflict and love to
challenge your values. They pick friends who raise your concerns
and try drugs that raise your panic. They make stunning errors in
judgment. They start to look really weird. They think you are
really weird. While all teens get crazy a few times, this book will
help you keep two problems from becoming twenty crises. You will
discover what makes things better and what makes things worse when
things get crazy with your teen. These include learning to: React
calmly, powerfully, and effectively in the face of sixty-nine
common teen crisesCreate and enforce standards and expectations
without guard dogs or SpywareUnderstand exactly what's going on in
adolescent brains--neurologically and psychologically--and how to
communicate well with them"Be what you want to see" in your teen
(modeling--the most powerful tool you own)Handle and use conflict
as a teaching tool so you can stop fearing itAvoid punishments
(which breed loud rebellion) and use consequences (which promote
quiet, lifelong learning)Develop a respect-based relationship that
will work better than any rule book at keeping your child safe With
apologies to your parental stress, you must pardon the chaos in
your adolescent's brain because it's being reshaped. Teenagers are
transforming from children to adults by learning what they value,
who they are, and how the world really works. At the same time,
they're also boiling over with hormones and brain changes that push
them to do everything you don't want them to do. As scary as that
looks, understand it's just all part of Mother Nature's plan to
grow your temporarily scary child into a permanently wonderful
adult. Adolescence can be managed and survived---and even
enjoyed--with the wisdom you will find in this book.
