When to Worry & What to Do about It

Michael Carr-Gregg

Michael, Joseph

In this hard-hitting audiobook, Michael Carr-Gregg focuses on the special trials of raising adolescent girls today: what to do when your previously quiet, loving daughter becomes a restless, rebellious stranger who behaves like a responsible adult one day and a vampish brat the next. Part of the problem is that girls are becoming sexualised earlier, and their physical development is shooting ahead of their cognitive capacities. By the time they turn 13 they look like they're ready for anything—but they're not. Yet, argues Carr-Gregg, many parents are surrendering their authority and allowing their daughters to be fast-tracked into pseudo-adulthood. We appear to be losing it when it comes to parenting our girls and it's time to grab back the reins.

Surviving Adolescents

Young people today enter puberty earlier than ever before and leave home later. The good news is that teenagers aren't impossible to live with, especially if parents adopt the common-sense strategies set out in this book.   Dr Michael Carr-Gregg is one of Australia's leading authorities on teenage behaviour. Surviving Adolescents is a clear and very down-to-earth manual, drawing on his wealth of experience and wisdom. It has advice on all the thorny issues that confront families with teenagers – sexuality, risky behaviours, laziness, school and study problems, and much more. And it is full of practical tips for everyday survival, including: communicating effectively with young people, defusing family conflict, setting limits, keeping the stress of parenting at bay and avoiding common mistakes like fighting over things that don't matter.
