Stop Parenting and Start Coaching -- how to coach teens

Stop Parenting and Start Coaching

Rating:

Coaching teens is a great parenting strategy. A major task of a parent in the teen years is to prepare sons and daughters to reach adulthood and take full responsibility for their own lives. The coaching approach is uniquely suited to this stage, and skills for coaching teens should be an important part of any parent's toolkit.

"Stop Parenting and Start Coaching will take your relationship with your teenager to a higher level. These authors not only understand teens, they have given teens a voice. This book teaches parents how to be more effective by listening with their hearts, not just their ears."
--James Malinchak, Contributing Editor, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
