Parents of preteens and teens can move from scared to prepared with a new approach to parenting their adolescents. "Tough Guys and Drama Queens" answers the questions that parents are asking, helping them become the parents their children need them to be.
My little princess - a drama queen?
Our sweet boy - a tough guy? Surely not. . .
Are you ready for your child's teen years?
If you've ever lain awake at night wondering what might be around the corner of your child's adolescence, this book is for you After more than thirty-eight years of working with more than 2,500 teens, Mark Gregston, founder of Heartlight, a Christian residential counseling center, introduces "Tough Guys and Drama Queens "- a must-read "how-to" book for parents of pre-teens and teens with time-tested, biblical techniques to guide you through these unavoidably challenging years.
Mark helps parents realize that some natural parenting approaches are actually counter-productive and therefore totally ineffective. In place of those he offers tried-and-true wisdom on the vital importance of relationship, forgiveness, and explains how conflict is actually the precursor to change.
Each day your child is bombarded by a highly sexualized culture and over-exposed to words and images that can influence them beyond your reach. Your connection to them during these years is critical as is your response to tough issues such as:
- appearance
- performance
- authority & respect
- boundaries
Complete with bonus insights, questions to engage your child, and instruction for teachers, counselors, pastors, and other family members, "Tough Guys and Drama Queens" offers proactive tools to prepare you for the incredible teen years ahead.
