From the Author:
You can take a course in cooking, gardening, playing tennis, racquet ball, golf or any foreign language and zillions of different skills. There is virtually no place to go to learn how to parent a teenager which is one of the most difficult challenges on this planet. I wrote "How to Live With Your Teenager - Vol. I - A Survivor's Handbook for Parents" to teach parents basic skills in parenting in the 1990's. Immediately after you're done reading the
chapter, you'll be able to put these skills into practice with your family.
In the last 25 years my psychotherapy practice has specialized in children, teens and families. Many families brought their teens to counseling. Parents don't have the skills to parent teens in the 1990's. Most of us learn our parenting skills from our own parent. When our own parents parented us, we didn't have the common everyday prevalence of drugs, the sexual revolution and
large amounts of divorced families and single-parent families. I'm not suggesting that divorce and single-parent families always have problems. What I am saying is divorced and single-parent families put a lot of pressure on the custodial parent. If we don't have the skills to parent, then we are running on empty. My own parents lacked skills in parenting. Because of that my own childhood and adolescence years were filled with unhappiness and frustration. My fondest hope is that the parenting skills in this book will be useful to you and that you can put them into practice immediately upon finishing each chapter. This book has sold over 250,000 copies and it warms my heart to continue to get letters from parents and families thanking us for making the book available. This book is for every family of a 6-year-old to a 19-year-old.
