What do you do if a teenager talks back, steals money, or becomes a victim of bullying? This book shows parents how not to “rescue” a child by solving everything for them, but to build a shared path where the family becomes support rather than a side in the conflict.
No matter what difficulty arises in communicating with a teenager, here you can find hints and solutions. The book has minimal theory and maximum practice: checklists, exercises, tests, and real examples from professional work.
Situations involving a teenager are discussed when they:
• move away from their parents
• can’t choose a future profession
• act rude and behave in a disrespectful manner
• become a victim of school bullying
• can’t handle household chores
• participate in bullying themselves
• steal money
• spend too much
