Teenagers and Parents: 12 Steps for a Better Relationship

The long-awaited revised and updated edition of Teenagers and Parents: 12 Steps to a Better Relationship by award-winning author Dr. Roger McIntire adds discussions of teen addictions to computers, cell phones, and social media, while providing the daily advice that present-day parents need.
Practical and easy to read, the book includes tips on communication strategies, social and school skills, substance abuse, and protecting the well-being of parents. About previous editions, reviewers said:
"Reassuring and enjoyable." La Leche League
"It helps guide parents to avoid the slammed doors and sulks [by using] techniques that work with teens." Southern Illinoisan
"Well-written, easily understood practical handbook..." Kentucky School Counselor Assn.
This practical guide for parents is written from the point of view of a behavior analyst with numerous examples and conversations of family life from the author's counseling experiences and home life with three daughters. Parents have called Dr. McIntire's books "life-savers" in helping them build better relationships with their children.
Dr. McIntire is professor emeritus of psychology (ret.) at the University of Maryland. He served 33 years as teacher, associate dean of undergraduates and research director.
The previous edition of Teenagers and Parents (2000) has been published in eight other languages.
