HELP ME! 😫
I have finally written a parenting book for teenagers and for love nor money i cant work out a title! 🫣
What would grab your attention? Any ideas??
A bit if insight - the back Blurb.
Teenagers aren’t broken — they’re just under construction.
Welcome to the teenage years: where silence is loud, eye rolls are fluent, and your once-chatty child potentially lives behind a closed door (possibly in a pit, full of washing with spoons forks and cups everywhere!). If you’ve ever wondered whether to knock, run, or send a rescue team — this book is for you.
In this refreshing, funny, and deeply practical guide, teen therapist, youth worker and parent, Rachael flips the script on how to raise teens. Instead of battling through the chaos, you'll learn how to build a relationship that works, one rooted in trust, empathy, and coaching — not controlling, fixing, or refereeing every drama.
Rachael shares what adolescents wish their parents knew but don’t know how to say — and how you can show up in ways that let them flourish without losing your own mind in the process.
Inside, you’ll discover:
How to be your teen’s coach, not their referee
Why empathy ALWAYS trumps fixing (and what to say instead)
How to survive the emotional landmines of friends, frienemies, rules, and the Internet
How to step back without checking out
And how to create a relationship that helps your teen become confident, independent — and maybe even fun to be around again
It’s not about fixing your teen. It’s about unlocking what already works — your connection!
