Synopsis: This book is about relationship, about building rapport and understanding between parents and teenagers at a stage when it's easy for relationships to crumble or sour. It's also about behaviour: tricky adolescent behaviour but also our own (perhaps sometimes tricky), adult behaviour. It's packed with skills and strategies proven to help parents communicate effectively with their children and develop their confidence. It's a book for all parents (or carers) but it's a particularly valuable resource for those whose adolescents are exhibiting behaviour that's challenging, or whose mental state is causing concern. Many young people are suffering since Covid/lockdown, and support services often lack funding. When children suffer, parents suffer - they too need support. It's based on the principles of the evidence-based Take 3 parenting course, written by the author when she was employed as a parenting worker for the Youth Offending Service.
