Enjoyable guide to raising teenagers

The Perfect Teenager is an enjoyable guide to the sometimes less than enjoyable task of parenting teenagers. Comprehensive and holistic in nature, the title covers a broad range of topics including social media, bullying and cyber bullying, healthy communication, how to support your teenagers and more. The section on social media is particularly robust, as is of course quite essential for the digital lives of our teens. Recommended!

I wish I had these types of books growing up! I was the oldest child so I didn't have a reference point on the how to be a teen. Happy to see books like these so available to navigate through the myriad of anxieties and insecurities. Very helpful and digestible guide with practical steps!

The conflict between different generations.

I have a teen brother myself, the book helps me understand why different generations do/ think things differently. The writer analysis is well explained. But i think I really need some time and adjustments to implement the ways she suggested! Good book!

Helpful social media guide

The part about this book that I found to be the most helpful was the social media tips. Social media wasn't that big of a part of my life when I was growing up. But now there is so much social media out there. I get how to use Facebook (and I understood MySpace when that was around! ha!), but there are so many other sites out there that I just don't get. But this book helped me understand better what is out there and how to help my teen build healthy boundaries on the internet.

A Book for Everyone who has a Teenager

This book has very practical ideas for making it through the teenage years with your sanity still intact! As an 8th grade teacher, I wish I could give every parent this book! As a mom who raised two boys who are now in their 30’s, I wish I had this book years ago! Great advice, great ideas and backed by research!
