The handbook of parent-child communication: 13-17 years old.

Does communicating with your teenage child seem like a mission impossible?
Do you feel tired and stressed by communication that results in arguments, misunderstandings, or long silences?

Phrases such as "You just don't understand me" and "Today things are not like they were when you were young!" are part of the everyday life of many families, and loving parents look for new ways to make their children feel less alone.

Adolescence is a complicated time for both parents and children; we have to adapt to new challenges and new situations: the Internet, the pandemic, global warming, and all the events we have witnessed in recent decades have profoundly changed the way our children deal with life and look to the future.

For this very reason, this guide aims to help parents speak the same "language" as their children to be a valuable support in these crucial years of education and interaction in the outside world.

"Knowledge is power"

For this reason, the first part of this handbook explains to parents what happens during adolescence on a physical and psychological level and how this directly affects teenagers. We will see in practice why today's teenagers are different from those of the past.
It is an essential first step in building an effective communication channel.
In this part, we will fully get to know the world as seen through the eyes of teens and address important topics such as: social media and the distorted body image they present to ussubstance abusethe responsible use of smartphones and cyberbullyingrelationships with friends or partnersthe importance of music and musical idolsmental health

Once we understand our child's universe a little more, we will move on to the active part.
The second part of the book focuses on communication: we will look at how communicating means both carefully choosing what to say and knowing how to listen.
This section is full of practical tips and tools to make your job easier and more immediate; for example, we will see:

8 strategies for helping a teen in crisis6 things to know to understand and help a teenager who shuts down7 strategies for practicing active listening

This section also includes valuable advice on the following:

topics to talk about with teens how to manage money how to gain more freedom how to manage relationships with friends and adults how to approach the topic of sex constructively

The last part of the book then focuses on critical tips for sensitive situations, such as:

the rules to be established in the home how to manage anxiety and depression in adolescents how not to transmit anxiety to your child

Now is the time to take action: start this beautiful journey to teenage years of positive communication and growth!

Don't miss out on the benefits of a healthy relationship with your child!
