Parenting Teens with Love


Book Description

Let me start this way, as I refer to Wikipedia for more information on this raging issue in contemporary families, that has almost turn most home to a battle zone! Yes, I am talking about the teens issue, and I am in no doubt that you are aware of this same challenge that is giving many parents sleepless night and to be frank with you, many of this young adults found in this age bracket are also having a running battle explaining what is going on within them... Now, I remember this same age group we readily call teens age ... is also known as Adolescence, a word derived from a Latin word, adolescence, which means "to grow up"; well, this same word is defined as a transitional stage of physical and psychological human development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to legal adulthood or the age of majority. The period of adolescence is most closely associated with the teenage years, though its physical, psychological and cultural expressions may begin earlier and end later. For example, although puberty has been historically associated with the onset of adolescent development, it now typically begins prior to the teenage years and there has been a normative shift of it occurring in preadolescence, particularly in females. Physical growth, as distinct from puberty (particularly in males), and cognitive development generally seen in adolescence, can also extend into the early twenties. Thus chronological age provides only a rough marker of adolescence, and scholars have found it difficult to agree upon a precise definition of adolescence. Well, that been as it may be, I have heard it many times without number how challenging it is to deal with or should I say handling the toddlers can be. But, I beg to say it here and now, that handling teenagers is even more challenging. Yes, just ask any parent who has had the benefit to raise them and you will agree with me. Fair enough, I know myself, because I am a parent too.... The fact is that the adolescent years are unsurprisingly a time of conflict for parents and teenagers. This is the period when children grow into a distinct person. Well, it is also true that during these important formative years, parents want to make sure their kids maintain the values they worked hard to instill, however, Parent have to be diplomatic about how they go implementing their ideas here! The reason is obvious, and cannot be overemphasized... teenagers at this stage naturally resist and argue in an attempt to assert their forming beliefs. In reality, when parents don't manage this phase properly, the bumpy interaction between parents and teenagers often creates a time of confusion in the family. However, in this book I will be exposing concrete tips that are guaranteed to help you in the challenge of parenting your teen(s) and have peaceful family with little or no rancor. Now is the time for you to get this expanded edition of the book that is loaded with all the parenting tips to help parents perform their God given roles in a way they will be happy with the result in years to come in the life of their teens today!




Letting Go with Love and Confidence


Book Description

A parenting guide to adolescence - a sensible and considerate resource for navigating your teen to adulthood, transforming a traditional time of strife into an opportunity for positive growth for both you and your child. For parents, nurturing their teens to become healthy, well-adjusted adults seems more challenging now than ever before. There are many pressures for kids to grow up faster than they should. Here, renowned adolescent medicine specialist Kenneth Ginsburg, M.D., and award-winning journalist Susan FitzGerald offer parents a practical, thoughtful strategy for guiding children through all the turning points on the way to adulthood - the "whens" and "hows" of adolescence. Letting Go with Live and Confidence helps parents achieve five goals: Manage Their Own Emotions. Many parents are conflicted about their teens growing up. The desire to keep things the way they've always been may get in the way of wise parental decisions. This book addresses the emotional turmoil that surrounds letting go, and urges parents to care for themselves, so they can better care for their children. Reduce Conflict Around the Whens. It's the everyday "When can I?" questions that trigger many struggles. Parents will learn to turn potential sources of conflict into opportunities for growth as they consider 18 scenarios, including When is my child ready to stay home alone? Get a cell phone? Manage money? Date? Drive? Minimize Anxiety Over the Hows. Certain subjects are tough to talk about and the stakes in these conversations are high. How in the world do you talk about sex? Drugs? Peer pressure? Parents will learn how to approach critical topics with honesty and clarity, increasing the chances that they'll actually be heard. Gain Confidence To Make the Right Decisions. Parents reading this book will be better prepared to make decisions because they'll have a strategy to apply to each situation and gain new insight into their child's developmental needs. Understand That Nurturing Independence Is An Act of Love. The ultimate goal of parenting is to produce a well-adjusted adult. When teens understand that their parents support their independence, they're less likely to rebel. As importantly, when independence is not a battle, families can move toward lifelong interdependence. Letting Go with Live and Confidence is filled with the latest findings on successful parenting and is infused with Dr. Ginsburg's expert advice on how to build resilience in teens. This comprehensive volume also contains stories from real parents from diverse backgrounds who have faced the challenges of raising teens. Empowering and groundbreaking, this book is a one-stop resource to parenting teens in the twenty-first century.
