Tricky Teens and Emerging Adults: A survival guide for parents

Written by clinical psychologist Andrew Fuller, Tricky Teens and Emerging Adults is a comprehensive guide for parents navigating the turbulent waters of adolescence. This book offers practical strategies for understanding teenage behaviour, managing family conflicts and creating a harmonious home environment. Andrew reveals how ingrained habits and brain chemistry drive teenage actions. Consequently, he provides the knowledge for parents to effectively guide their children towards successful adulthood.

The book is in four key sections, covering the science behind teenage behaviour, solutions to common problems, techniques for changing patterns and essential conversations to have with your teen. Drawing from years of experience, Andrew equips parents with the tools to not only survive the teenage years but to help their children thrive. As a result, parents are ultimately preparing them for independence and a bright future.
