Bibliotekernes beskrivelse

'Who is this teenaged person and what did you do with my beloved child?' That's the question every parent asks, sooner or later, when confronted by the child who has seemingly morphed overnight from cheerful, friendly family member to sarcastic, sullen, often silent teen. But it doesn't have to be that way. Once parents realise that their teen is in fact from another country and is in fact from another country and is in fact speaking another language, they can learn how to communicate with the hormonally-challenged stranger they call their baby. In "Teenage as a Second Language", acclaimed psychologists Dr. Barbara Greenberg and Dr. Jennifer Powell-Lunder reveal the groundbreaking strategies parents can use to maintain good communication, healthy interaction, and strong connections to their teens no matter how rocky the road to puberty may become. Based on the latest research, these tools and behaviours help readers bridge the generation gap that grows between parents and kids during these challenging years.
