“Book Descriptions: It’s considered a given, once your child hits puberty, that she or he will become uncommunicative, rude, and withdrawn, but there are neurobiological, social, and developmental reasons for these often-frustrating behaviors, and understanding those factors can really help us parent well.
Focusing on adolescents (covering preteens, teenagers, and young adults), Christine Carter - the parent of four teenagers, a parenting coach, and author - guides you through some of the most important factors when it comes to raising kids in the modern world. She tackles common issues, such as discipline, motivation, drug and alcohol use, sex, and social media, as well as less-frequently addressed concerns, including race, consent, uncertainty, and self-care. In these 18 lessons, parents of children as young as nine will find clear answers to their most pressing questions, along with easy and actionable tactics that are not only based on scientific research, but also road-tested on Dr. Carter’s own kids and clients over the past decade.
The good news is that parenting teenagers can be really joyful and rewarding, and this Audible Original will help guide you down a path that will make your own parenting more fun for every age and stage.” DRIVE
