A practical, skills-based guide to parenting teenagers through difficult issues, based on accepted mediation principles. Parenting teenagers can be tricky at the best of times. But when the tough issues arise - behavioural problems, unacceptable risk-taking, bullying, alcohol abuse - things can get extremely difficult and parents can struggle with what to do. Drawing on psychologist Michael Hawton's 30 years of experience, Engaging Adolescents is a practical guide to help you steer your teenager through the challenging times with confidence. The book covers the following areas: • teenagers and what helps them develop personal control • how to sort out behaviour so you don't over react • what we can learn from watching professionals who manage emergencies • proven, practical methods for managing tempestuous teenagers.

I found this book not only insight but very beneficial when dealing with my two early teens. Easy to read and useful for all those hard to deal with moments. - Marcelle (QBD)
