Parenting

This is a field guide for parents about the secret lives of 21st-century teenagers - from relationships to self-harm, from drugs to sexting - and how you can help them and yourself through these turbulent years.

Teenagers are tough and anyone who has their own needs help. Witty, enjoyable and genuinely insightful, this book is now updated with how to deal with everything from social media to online threats and porn, as well as looking at all the difficult issues of bringing up teenagers, school, sex, drugs and more.

Covering everything from the menstrual cycle to sexting and even cyber-bullying, this visual guide to puberty and adolescence is a must-read for all parents and tweens embarking on those scary teenage years.

Teen years are like dog years: for every year your teen ages, you age seven. You need a survival guide for the testing times ahead. Friends, next-door neighbours and fellow mums of teens Sarah Macdonald and Cathy Wilcox have lived through it all and produced this straight-talking, not entirely sarcastic, informative guide to what for many parents are the most challenging - but interesting and exciting - years in the role.

This book equips parents and carers with sound strategies for navigating everything from parent-child tensions and peer pressure online and in the schoolyard to questions around food, sleep, exercise, screentime, body image, hormones, sexual development, skin, academic pressure and so much more.

This is a sensible guide to a perennial challenge. From an extremely established expert in her field, this book features practical, no-nonsense exercises to help you become a happier parent.

The child-rearing tactics we read about in parenting manuals or learn from our own parents are useless. Anyway, how do you punish someone who's already so miserable? This is a field guide for confused parents who are currently custodians of any teenager who's feeling lost, alone, depressed or horny.
