About this title

Synopsis

Nautilus Gold Award Winner: Parenting & Family
Perplexed by your teen's behavior? Navigating trust issues? Anxious about their future?
Introducing a practical guide to help decode teen behavior, develop unshakable trust, and raise a respectable adult.
Being a teen these days is tough. Being the parent of a teen is even tougher. That's why we all need a little help sometimes.
Once an at-risk foster teen, he was headed straight for trouble until he met the caring adult who changed his life: Rodney, the foster parent who refused to quit on him.
In The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans, Shipp, now a bestselling author and renowned youth advocate, shows all of us how to be that caring adult in a teenager's life.
Stressing the need for compassion, trust, and encouragement, he breaks down the phases of a teenage human from sixth to twelfth grade, examining the changes, goals, and mentality of teenagers at each stage. 
Shipp offers revelatory stories that take us inside the teen brain and shares wisdom from top professionals and the most expert grown-ups.
He also includes practice scripts that address tough issues, including:

• FORGIVENESS: What do I do when a teen has been really hurt by someone, and it's not their fault?
• COMMUNICATION: How do I get a teen to talk to me? They just grunt.
• TRUST: My teen blew it. My trust is gone. Where do we go from here?
• BULLYING: Help! A teen (or their friend) is being harassed.
• DIFFICULT & AWKWARD CONVERSATIONS: Drugs. Death. Sex. Oh my.

Written in Shipp's playfully authoritative, no-nonsense voice, The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans is certain to empower you with practical strategies that can make a difference.
