Beschreibung

If raising a teenager is something you would like to give your best to , then this book is for you. The book covers topics you should pay attention to while raising your teenager in the 21st Century;  ranging from hormones, good and bad of technology, stress, respect, dating and sex to bullying and money management.  These are the most exciting years of a child’s life and that makes it all the more important that we give enough time and thought to doing our best for them.

“Growing Again with your Teen” will help you see a teenager’s life through their eyes. In the process, you will become better equipped in using the wisdom and maturity that comes with age. It is my belief that the contents of this book will ensure that both you and your teenager grow together through it all.

Every child deserves the best —and by ‘best’, I mean their own very best. “Growing Again with your Teen” will help you make that happen.

Introduction

Parenting is the most important, amazing, wonderful, fun, scary, difficult, heart and gut-wrenching job on the face of the earth. But you already know that, don’t you? What you might not know, however, is that when your children turn into teenagers, this ‘job description’ doesn’t change. Parenting teenagers is equally important, amazing, wonderful, and fun as parenting babies and children. No, really, it is.

Yes, this stage of parenting definitely has its share of challenges different from the other phases of raising children. But then isn’t that true of every stage of parenting? For example, babies present the challenge of keeping your head on straight in spite of being sleep-deprived, while parenting your elementary-aged child presents the challenge of knowing how to balance extra-curricular activities with school and home, knowing how much help with homework is too much, and teaching them to have and use social skills, manners, and a strong sense of self-worth.

By the time your teens become teens, you are (or should be) seeing and enjoying the fruits of your labor. And then comes puberty—complete with hormones—trying its darnedest to undo everything you and your children have accomplished to this point.

The good news is, is that the changes that take place don’t have to undo everything. If you do things right, the changes can just be rearranged to fit your teenager’s growing and changing self. And that is what this book is about—giving you the tools you need to know how to help your teen navigate these next few years happily, healthily, and successfully. Oh, and guess what? You’ll be able to do these things and keep your sanity.

Each chapter covers a different topic, all of which are relevant to parenting a teenager, to some extent or another. After identifying and explaining the specific topic, you will be given examples of how the behavior or circumstance can affect you and your teen, as well as advice and encouragement on how to address and handle the issue.

At the end of each chapter will be a list of suggested additional resources for your ‘reading or viewing pleasure’…and some for your teenager, too. Hopefully these resources will help you and your teen better understand one another and instill a greater appreciation and respect for what each of you is feeling and thinking.

With that being said…HAPPY PARENTING!

Respect yourself and others will respect you. ~Confucius

We have already mentioned the value of self-respect and self-confidence in previous chapters, but those mentions were relative to the subject matter being covered. In this chapter we are going to focus solely on the essentiality of your teenager’s self-respect and self-confidence.
