The Gift of Teenagers: Connect More, Worry Less
We live in a time of worry about young people, from fears of a phone addiction and bullying, to gaps in our knowledge about gender identity and drugs. But what if we parents don’t need to be so fearful? What if our teenagers are a gift we can all learn from?
Established mental health writer and mother of five, Rachel Kelly shares how raising happier teenagers begins with becoming a more resilient and better-informed parent. Raising adolescents can lead to our own psychological growth: this is a time when we can learn how to manage our own emotions and thoughts more effectively, and improve our communications skills too.
Calm parents, calmer teenagers.
Rachel shares ways to build a strong relationship with our teenagers, and to help them navigate their world. Ultimately, feeling more connected to your turbulent, creative and brilliant adolescent will help you worry less and enjoy them more.
Whisper it, but with Rachel Kelly at your side it might even be (more of) a fun ride.
