Damned Drama! How to Communicate with a Teenager Normally

Child and adolescent psychologist Nikita Karpov has already helped thousands of families. In his second book, he focuses especially on building relationships and resolving conflicts between parents and teenagers. For Mom and Dad, it’s hard to accept that their child is growing up—and this changes not only the child’s behavior and priorities, but also the style of communication. A need for personal boundaries appears, along with the desire to challenge the rules. With his easy, much-loved style and a touch of humor, yet written entirely seriously, Nikita Karpov offers an effective communication strategy that can help establish contact even with the most rebellious teenager. After 20 years of practice, he has seen that sometimes parents exaggerate the scope of the problem and try to change the teenager—which produces no results. Nikita Karpov presents real cases and shares tried-and-tested methods to help not only families, but also to show that all conflicts can be resolved. In this audiobook you will learn:
— why the usual levers of pressure no longer work and what you can replace them with;
— how to get rid of excessive anxiety and the feeling of parental “guilt”;
— what conflicts actually arise from;
— why teenagers push their parents to the limit;
— what communication methods professionals recommend.
