Untidy. Monosyllabic. Endless arguments. Communicates by grunt. Seismic sulking. Lives ruled by FOMO (fear of missing out).
Sounds like your teenager?
Behavioural expert Charlie Taylor has the answers in this practical handbook which is full of simple, effective techniques for improving your teenager’s behaviour. In "Divas and Door Slammers", Charlie Taylor gives parents easy-to-follow steps to having a much better behaved teenager.
Charlie Taylor’s straight-talking, no-nonsense approach guides you away from knee-jerk parenting towards a more proactive and positive relationship with your teenager. With particular emphasis on the power of praise – the basis of his acclaimed 6 to 1 strategy – and planning in advance for behaviour or communication hotspots, every parent can break the miserable pattern of constant confrontation, endless negotiation and repetitive nagging.
With the insights and methods found in Divas and Door Slammers, including a handy Troubleshooting Guide, every household with teenagers can quickly transform from havoc to harmony.
