MICHAEL RIERA
Staying Connected to Your Teenager How to Keep Them Talking to You and How to Hear What They’re Really Saying
Fully Revised and Updated
The trusted resource to help parents reconnect with their teenagers—now updated for today’s fast-paced world, changing family demographics, and ever-evolving technology
H ow can families keep their connections
strong when adolescence transforms even the happiest kids into defiant, independent
teenagers? In the sage, practical Staying Connected to Your Teenager, family psychologist Michael Riera reveals that in every teen there are two very different people; many parents and guardians see only the rebellious child but miss seeing the more nuanced, increasingly adult thinker. It offers helpful strategies for promoting authentic, respectful conversations (whether in person, by text, or online); moving from a “managing” to a “consulting” role in a teen’s life; understanding and working with normal adolescent develop- ment; and guiding kids on everything from social media to college applications. Riera shows how to bring out the best in a teen—and, consequently, in an entire family.
