Guide Review - Systematic Training for Effective Parenting of Teens
From the Book Description:
Parents know the challenges of raising teenagers. This popular guide is filled with easy-to-understand-and-apply skills that help parents connect with teens and deal with their "issues." Includes practical guidance on social pressure, dating, grades, career plans, and alcohol, tobacco, and drug abuse prevention. It is an excellent choice for parents who want to improve their relationship with teens.
Denise's Thoughts:
I have taken the STEP parenting courses and do enjoy using many of the parenting techniques I learned there. The book does very well at explaining the methods, however, I would read it with another parent and possibly role-play to get a better idea of how they work. Parents who read this book will enjoy a better relationship with their teen as they will be able to understand more of the adolescent life stage and be more confident in their parenting skills.
