It was all so easy in the beginning. There you were with your tiny bundle of joy, looking forward to their first word, first steps, first day at school. You felt proud and privileged to be a parent and it wasn't until their teens that you began to wonder where it all went wrong ...Suddenly your child is transformed into a sulky and disobedient teenager whose only means of communication consists of grunts and door slamming. You're nearing the end of your tether - but rest assured, here is a teen expert who has the skills and knowledge to help you regain control. Sarah Newton has years of experience working with teenagers, and is the expert for the popular ITV2 series "My Teen's a Nightmare - I'm Moving Out!". By following her advice you will see how the barriers can be broken down and a new level of understanding reached between you and your child. Try Sarah's methods out at home and see what a difference they can make to your family life.

Format:Paperback
This book spoke to me, gave me tools to communicate more effectively with my son who is 17. I wish I had read it earlier as it would have supported me to be more the sort of parent I would have wanted to have been. It enabled me to understand teenagers more and realise that actually underneath all the grunts is a loving son who is just unable to control his emotions. If I had read it earlier I could have supported my son in a more emphathetic and constructed way through the early years of his teenage life. He is now defintiely smiling more and offering to make me cups of tea - he really does know the way to my heart! A relieved and very loving mother.

I bought this book never hearing of Sarah Newton and am so glad I did. I found this book not a moment too soon, as my daughter is 13 and I admit defeat in understanding her. Like all parents,we want the best, right? Well, honestly, this book has given me so much hope and confidance to do the right thing in 'coaching' my daughter through the teen years. I can't wait to put into practise all the practical tips given by the author. I wish I had read this book for my older children (too late now) but hopefully this will help me tame the alien I have now! There are loads of case studies, once you read some of them, you realise you don't have it too bad! There is even a chapter on step-children which is the reason I bought this book. It has given my partner and I new hope and a positive way forward in dealing with my daughters unacceptance of our situation. You won't regret buying this book, best money I've spent on a book in years.

Format:Paperback
Very easy book to read. Those with Teens will soon identify with the situations and see how practical solutions can be applied. Sure, it's not always easy, instant or a guarantee of success but what it does do is give you down to earth guidance that is easy to implement. Hey, I even tried it with my 7 yr old. A small and simple investment that could literally add hours of fun and enjoyment to your life if you are willing to have a go.

While I was impressed with the book, the break-out boxes do not display fully on the Kindle and so I was unable to read them, which was most frustrating. I want my money back. Read more
