A lot has changed since those of us raising adolescents were teens ourselves. As a former high school teacher, counsellor and now parenting author MaggieDent (who is a mum to four adult sons) has spent much of her life living and working with adolescents.

This little book is a compilation of articles and blog posts “all about teens”, which Maggie has written over the years and which draw on research, common-sense wisdom and her own experiences. Even though it says ‘teens’, we’re really talking here about the whole period of adolescence, which runs from approximately 12-25.

The book covers topics for parents, teachers and those who work with adolescents, covering areas such as:

  • how to find a healthy balance with screens and gaming
  • talking to teens about alcohol and other drugs
  • why emotional turmoil in adolescence is normal
  • why we need to know about the teen tipping point
  • helping our teen girls with volatile emotions
  • understanding smelly, unmotivated, grumpy boys at 14
  • teaching with the teen brain in mind
  • understanding the teen mask

… and so much more.

With humour and wisdom — and a healthy dose of irreverence — Maggie shares her insights and strategies for better understanding, supporting, and connecting and communicating with the adolescents in your life in an easy-to-read format.
