Christina Botto has published (October 2007) a book titled: “Help Me With My Teenager! A step-by-step Guide for Parents that Works.” There is a description on Amazon.com along with a number of favorable reviews. Author Botto decided that the idea of parent-teenager conflict being inevitable was unacceptable, so she spent 14 years working with teens attempting to understand the mind of a teenager. The result was this book. Although directed toward parents, readers report that the focus is twofold: “the wellbeing of your teenager, and the wellbeing of your parent-teen relationship,” and that the book was extremely helpful to them.
A more detailed desciption can be found on her website.
This book is one I want to add to my “To Read” pile of books as a help in my working with parents of struggling teens. However, in the meantime, if anyone has read it and wants to add a review here and/or for my website www.strugglingteens.com, you will be more than welcome.
