Reader reviews for A Survival Guide to Parenting Teens: Talking to Your Kids about Sexting, Drinking, Drugs, and Other Things That Freak You Out

From the publisher

The teenage years will bring problems that will make any parent long for the days of their childhood. However, you're not alone! This invaluable resource tackles all of the issues that you can possibly encounter with your teen.

Oh to be able to return to the days of messy bedrooms and preteen attitudes! Now as parents of teenagers, the days have the potential of bringing us not-so-fun issues like sexting, cyber-bullying, and eating disorders. Let's not forget the old standbys of drugs, alcohol, and depression. As much as you pray that your child will be the shining exception, as their parent you must still be prepared!

Will you know what to do when a naked picture of your daughter gets forwarded by her "boyfriend" to the entire school? How will you respond when your child is bullied online--or is the bully himself?

A Survival Guide to Parenting Teens has thought through all the issues you haven't, covering a broad range of issues including:

  • sex,
  • drinking,
  • drugs,
  • depression,
  • defiance,
  • laziness,
  • conformity,
  • entitlement, and more

Parenting expert Joani Geltman approaches 80 uncomfortable topics with honesty and a dash of humor. She reveals what your teens are thinking and feeling--and what developmental factors are involved. A Survival Guide to Parenting Teens explains how to approach each problem in a way that lets your kid know you "get it" and leads to truly productive conversations.

From the jacket flap

The quitter. The narcissist. The clone. The smartphone addict, eyes fixed on the tiny screen, doing . . . what? There's a strange new creature living under your roof. Your job now is to figure out what makes your teen tick, and to steer them to a productive path--away from the lures and dangers of drinking, drugging, sexting, bullying, and other bad decisions. "A Survival Guide to Parenting Teens" makes it easier than ever before. Cutting through the teen drama and parental confusion, the book delivers fast answers and targeted solutions to 80 behaviors that drive parents nuts. Just locate the problem you're dealing with, and you'll find a brief but insightful analysis of what your teen is really thinking and feeling, along with smart, effective advice on what exactly you should say and do. By acting quickly, calmly, and knowledgeably, you can halt your teen's spiral, open up the lines of communication, and get your child back into a positive, responsible, and respectful place.
