Parenting Teenagers into Adulthood

About this book

Parenting Teenagers Is Hard. How Do You Know If You're Doing It Right?

Many parents struggle in raising their teens because they fail to transition from seeing them as children to seeing them as adults-in-training. Progressively giving teens more control over their lives reduces stress and prepares your teen for maturity as an adult.

In Feeding the Mouth that Bites You, Dr. Ken Wilgus outlines a clear path to help parent teens in today's world. Engaging, accessible, and based on Dr. Wilgus' thirty-five years of clinical family work, teaching on parenting—and successfully raising three teens of his own—you'll find this guide immensely practical. Learn what your teen needs and why they act the way they do so that you can reduce your frustrations and thoughtfully guide them. You'll also discover how to:
  • help them to grow in responsibility and prepare them to launch into the real world
  • reduce conflict and maintain good communications
  • set clear, reasonable limits without provoking fights
  • manage tough issues like school, alcohol use, dating, etc., and more!
Packed with stories, examples, and charts, Feeding the Mouth that Bites You is an indispensable resource that will give you confidence to raise kids who are ready for adult living.
