Parenting by example. Using the simple, powerful message that turned CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE into an international bestseller with over 1.5 millions copies in print, Drs Dorothy Law Nolte and Rachel Harris bring their unique perspective to families with adolescents. Structured, like the first book, around an inspirational poem, TEENAGERS LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE addresses the turbulent teenage years, when a stew of hormones, pressures, and temptations makes for such extreme challenges for parents and children. Central to the book are ways for parents to communicate with their teenage children - including how to deal with being "tuned out" and when to start the conversation again - and how to strike the right balance between holding on and accepting a teen's growing independence. Hundreds of examples of parent-child interactions cover everything from the all-night graduation party to problems of sexual identity, providing great guidance as well as effective conversation starters
