Teens are “full of life, enthusiasm, energy, and laughter,” Dr. Ray asserts, in defiance of a culture that conditions us to expect a far gloomier reality. Too often, the world tells parents to be content with mediocrity instead of the prospect of raising respectful and responsible children with strong character.\u003cbr\u003eIn a lively question-and-answer format, Dr. Ray unpacks issues ranging from sibling relationships and peer pressure to curfews and chores to overcoming backtalk and teaching your kids to avoid drugs. He equips parents to give their teens a safer, more stable adolescence and help them develop virtues for a lifetime. If you feel as if you’ve been a weak disciplinarian, Dr. Ray explains that “there are . . . critical reasons to reverse your parenting, even if it seems late.” He offers practical approaches such as:\u003cbr\u003e• Four tips to help you enjoy your kids’ teen years\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Three techniques for becoming a calmer parent\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Five ways to monitor your child’s use of technology\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Four simple house rules that lead to success\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Four consequences to curb nasty talk\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• A strategy to motivate underachievers\u003cbr\u003eYou will also learn four key sayings for communicating more effectively with your teens. In addition, you will find out specific ways to cultivate an attitude of gratitude in your kids. Most significantly, you will learn how to help your children treat you with respect, so that they will develop this habit in their relationships with others as well. As you grow in becoming a stronger parent with calm, loving resolve, you will learn how to foster quality time with your teens and have real fun together.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is wise, perceptive, and laugh-out-loud funny.

In this unique and invaluable guide, Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician with more than twenty years' experience counseling girls, reveals that a young woman's relationship with her father is far more important than we've ever realized. To become a strong, confident woman, a daughter needs her father's attention, protection, courage, and wisdom. Dr. Meeker shares the ten secrets every father needs to know in order to strengthen or rebuild bonds with his daughter and shape her life–and his own–for the better.

As you listen to what your teen knows and thinks about critical and hot-button topics and discover what you love most about their curiosities and individuality, you will both foster a deeper connection as you explore their belovedness as children of God.\u003cbr\u003eInformed by the latest clinical research and drawing on the same guiding principles as Sadusky’s first book, Start Talking to Your Kids about Sex—which focuses on elementary-age children—Talking with Your Teen about Sex helps equip parents to be primary educators as teens move through adolescence. Guided by Catholic teaching, this book, intended for ages ten and up, goes beyond the typical “sex talk.” It will equip you to confidently communicate with your child about topics such as bodily changes, physical boundaries, sexual ethics, and masturbation with greater comfort. You’ll find concrete advice and ready-to-go conversation starters for your biggest questions, including\u003cbr\u003e• Why am I having such a hard time starting the conversation?\u003cbr\u003e• What is happening to my child’s body?\u003cbr\u003e• How do I actually have the sex talk?\u003cbr\u003e• How do I respond to crushes and dating?\u003cbr\u003e• What if they tell me something bad happened to them?\u003cbr\u003eSadusky gives specific attention to the ways in which boys and girls experience puberty and sexuality differently. The sexual and pubescent development of each sex is addressed individually throughout the book, and in some cases, separate chapters are designated for discussions with boys and others for discussions with girls.\u003cbr\u003eFinally, Sadusky will challenge you in ways that might feel uncomfortable at times. She also will encourage you to consider your own ideas about sex and to reflect on areas of shame you may carry.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is for any Catholic parent and other adults entrusted with the formation of preteens and teens.", "published_at":"2024-03-07T12:24:26", "created_at":"2024-03-07T12:24:26", "vendor":"Ave Maria Press", "type":"BOOK", "tags":["Subject_Pastoral Ministry","Type_Books"], "price":1995, "price_min":1995, "price_max":1995, "price_varies":false, "compare_at_price":null, "compare_at_price_min":0, "compare_at_price_max":0, "compare_at_price_varies":true, "all_variant_ids":[41007021195331], "variants":[{ "id":41007021195331, "product_id":7001614155843, "product_handle":"talking-with-your-teen-about", "title":"Default Title", "option1":"Default Title", "option2":null, "option3":null, "sku":"864-0293", "requires_shipping":true, "taxable":true, "featured_image":null,"image_id":null, "available":true, "name":"TALKING WITH YOUR TEEN ABOUT - Default Title", "options":["Default Title"], "price":1995, "weight":360, "compare_at_price":null, "inventory_quantity":2, "inventory_management":"shopify", "inventory_policy":"deny", "inventory_in_cart":0, "inventory_remaining":2, "incoming":false, "next_incoming_date":null, "taxable":true, "barcode":null}], "available":true,"images":["\/\/marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/9781646802241.jpg?v=1710193431","\/\/marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/1-64680-224-1_cov.jpg?v=1754063669"],"featured_image":"\/\/marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/9781646802241.jpg?v=1710193431", "options":["Title"], "url":"\/products\/talking-with-your-teen-about" }
