Book Description
Behavioural expert Charlie Taylor's practical advice and guidance for parents of teenagers
Product Description
Endless arguments? Communication by grunt? Seismic sulking? Lives ruled by FOMO (fear of missing out)?
Sound like your teenager?
Behavioural expert Charlie Taylor has the answers in this practical handbook which is full of simple, effective techniques for improving your teenager's behaviour.
Charlie Taylor's straight-talking, no-nonsense approach guides you away from knee-jerk parenting towards a more proactive and positive relationship with your teenager. With particular emphasis on the power of praise - the basis of his acclaimed 6 to1 strategy - and planning in advance for behaviour or communication hotspots, every parent can break the miserable pattern of constant confrontation, endless negotiation and repetitive nagging.
With the insights and methods found in Divas and Door Slammers, including a handy Troubleshooting Guide, every household with teenagers can quickly transform from havoc to harmony.

I bought this when I was getting to the end of my tether with my 14 year old daughter. The case studies are hilarious because some of them could be a conversation that the author has overheard in my very own lounge! Reading this book has given me strategies to cope and confirmed to me I am not alone (and she's not that bad after all!) An easy read which I would recommended to any parent of a teenager.

This book has really helped me to understand my teenager and although it has only been a few weeks since I bought the book I feel it has already made our relationship a lot better. It is amazing how much the praise works. I am now recommending this book to ALL my friends, but especially the ones who have a bad relationship with their kids.

My wife and I appreciated this book. It is useful, sympathetic and practical. Taylor is realistic about contemporary teenagers ~ and still likes them. We are the same.
The case studies were fascinating, and the ideas genuinely relevant. Not all of the ideas relate well to the specific issues we are facing, but they can be adapted.
I thought that maybe there was too much emphasis on giving or witholding money to motivate teenagers. There are many other ways too.
Still, if you have a daughter or son aged 13-16, you will get something valuable from this book.
