Description: "Explorative. Playful. Inspirational. Connected. An encouraging and holistic teen image is long overdue, as is reversing the notion that today's youth cannot control their emotions, are unable to reason, and require behavioral reform. 'What You Can Learn From Your Teenager' challenges the overplayed and unjust stereotypes of teenagers being angry, moody, manipulative, and defiant. Rather it encourages parents to look at their teenagers as individuals - and furthermore as an example to sometimes follow. The book provides insights on how to understand the distinct dynamics between adolescents and their parents, sharpen parenting skills, and develop a mutually beneficial relationship. It's time for parents to see that within their homes is a knowledgeable and (somewhat) inexpensive life coach!"--Back cover.
