Not-So-Stupid Parents: Why Your Kids Think You're Weird and How to Prove Otherwise
EXCERPT FROM CATALOG Slammed doors, rolled eyes, exasperated huffs-you've probably experienced one or all of these if you have a teen in the house. What happened? You used to be their idol and could do no wrong; now suddenly you're the stupidest person on the planet. Your teen might never have told you that to your face, but chances are they've thought it. It's just human nature. It's part of their need to grow up into their own individual and to move away from the nest. But don't worry, there is hope. You can become a Not-So-Stupid Parent when you learn some things about communicating with teens. For example, in Stupid Parents: Why They Just Don't Understand and How You Can Help, I talked to your teens about living under authority. Once teens understand that they can't fight you or get away from your authority, they have to start to learn how to manage communication in a more healthy way. In this book we'll take a look at how you and your teen interact from that same perspective of living under authority, and you'll see a move toward more win-win situations and a departure from the lose-lose battles of yesterday.
