How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk – Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
The teenage years can test even the closest relationship between parents and children. Doors slam, conversations shut down, and the stakes, from friendships and school to safety and independence, suddenly feel much higher.
In How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, the bestselling authors of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen, adapt their proven communication approach to the unique challenges of adolescence. Drawing on workshops with real parents and teenagers, they show how to keep the lines of communication open when it matters most.
The book covers how to respond to a teen’s strong feelings without dismissing them, how to express your own anger and concerns without attacking, how to set limits and work out solutions together, and how to handle difficult subjects such as dating, sex, drugs, peer pressure and the pull of the online world. Rather than offering rigid rules, the authors give parents a toolkit of words and attitudes that respect a young person’s growing need for autonomy while keeping the family connected.
Lively dialogues, the authors’ signature cartoons and honest voices from both parents and teens bring every principle to life, making the advice easy to remember and to put into practice.
Compassionate, practical and reassuring, How to Talk So Teens Will Listen is an invaluable guide for parents who want to stay close to their teenagers, help them make wise choices, and come through these years with the relationship stronger than ever.
