Today's teens deal with challenges that parents may never have imagined. Social media and changing cultural norms have only increased the pressure to excel and 'fit in', leading to increased stress, anxiety and depression.
But Maggie Dent, Australia's queen of common-sense parenting, knows that teens are capable of handling these pressures with resilience and strength - when they are supported by stable, loving connections with family, teachers and other caring adults.
Drawing on up-to-date research, a survey of modern teens and her own experiences as an educator, counsellor, mother and teen, Maggie shows us how to provide a safe and supportive environment for our teens, and also offers clear, compassionate and useful advice on how to approach sensitive topics such as school grades, technology use, sex, drugs and alcohol, mental health and identity.
Help Me Help My Teen is a reassuring, practical guide for parents to help
teenagers navigate adolescence and grow into confident, capable adults.
