    About this ebook

    Decode Your Teenager: Discover Secret Parenting Skills for Raising Happy Teens Without Power Struggles.

    Do you remember what it was like being a teenager?

    The awkwardness, the drama… not to mention hormonal mood swings and confusing physical changes.

    In many aspects, being a teenager is harder than being an adult.

    It is that weird, transitional period of life when you're supposed to take on a lot of grown-up responsibilities, without really being a grown-up yourself.

    And yet, there's only one thing more challenging than being a teenager: being a parent of one.

    A lot of parents claim they would happily go back to the sleepless newborn phase and toddler tantrums rather than trying to navigate the perpetual moodiness and drama of puberty.

    According to a 2004 Parent-Teen Relationships study, early adolescence often triggers family disruption that usually manifests through verbal conflicts and problem behaviors.

    This is troublesome news, considering that the same study offered strong evidence suggesting that the nature of a parent-child relationship influences the child's life outcomes and affects their development.

    In other words, a positive relationship between you and your child can determine whether they'll grow up to be a happy, responsible individual, or a troubled one.

    Establishing a positive relationship with your teen may be easier said than done, but there are certain universal truths and secrets to relaxed, successful parenting of teenagers, even if they fall on the rebellious side.

    This, and much more, is what you'll discover in this comprehensive 4-in-1 bundle that promotes positive, peaceful parenting and will help you establish a deep emotional connection with your teen.

    In Parenting Teens in a Pandemic, you will discover:

    guides for parenting teenage boys in today's challenging world

    Bulletproof strategies for managing your teenager during lockdown and helping them adjust to the changes the world is currently going through

    Techniques for handling anger, both yours and your child's, to help you resolve conflicts without raised voices

    An insight into your teenager's mind: discover the mental and physical changes your children are going through, and how to deal with them in a peaceful, constructive manner

    How to recognize adolescent depression and anxiety, and guide your teen through one of the most challenging phases of his life

    Tricks and methods for disciplining your children, without turning the house into a battlefield

    Secret parenting techniques for fostering emotional and intellectual development, and establishing a positive relationship that will benefit your child immensely

    And much more.

    Even though some parts refer to parenting of a specific gender, the strategies and techniques presented inside are gender neutral.

    In other words, they will work regardless of whether you're raising a boy or a girl, as they target an individual as such, and not so much a particular gender.

    If you're ready to establish a happy, positive relationship with your teen, then scroll up and click the "Add to Cart" button right now.

      Parenting Teens in a Pandemic - Bukky Ekine-Ogunlana

      INTRODUCTION

      R aising your teenager seems like a Herculean task from the get-go as teenagers are often synonymous with mood-swings and rebellious behavior. Puberty is one of the stages in a child’s life that brings forth anxiety and insecurity within parents as teenagers face puberty and the changes that accompany it. At this stage in your teen’s life, they are experiencing extreme emotions and grappling with new sensations and changes and most choose to retreat as far away from their parents as possible, both emotionally and physically. But parents were once teenagers as well, and while we may not have all the answers, we can certainly sympathize with the plights teenagers face and try to support them to the best of our ability during this difficult time. This book seeks to rid the negative connotation surrounding raising adolescents and the reputation it has garnered for being notoriously difficult. Raising your teenager successfully starts with you, the parent, and this tenet will be reiterated throughout this book.

      As your teenager is moving towards greater independence and making their own choices in life, the challenge is for you to find a happy medium and balance to guide your teens. This, however, can all completely fall apart in the face of a global pandemic. With most teens cooped up indoors with the rest of their family, development and behaviors have been severely affected by the lack of social interaction that your teen has grown accustomed to. The stress and pressure have been doubly difficult for both parents and children who attempt to navigate their way through discipline and imparting lessons, all while being confined to the family home.

      This book provides tips and tricks to raising your teens in the midst of a global shutdown. With plenty of families on lockdown and spending more time indoors than ever, the problems that have arisen from raising your teens can be immense or minor. Every teenager is different, just like every parent is different and the environment you are raising your child in will differ from household to household. This book seeks to address the concerns that may crop up in adolescence on the ever-changing and unpredictable landscape of a global pandemic.

      CHAPTER 1:

      Knowing When Your Teen is Going Through Changes

      Puberty entails changing tides and newfound challenges for your teen. The question parents seem to ask when faced with this is How do I know if my child is experiencing the changes associated with becoming a teen? What every parent should bear in mind is that every teen is completely different. They are molded by the different circumstances of your life and there is never one tried and tested way to raise teens into fully-fledged adults. However, there are a few things that you may try to identify what your teen is going through.

      Establishing respect begins at the early stages of your child’s life. From a young age, your child should be taught that humans around them have the same capacity to experience the same extreme emotions that they feel, which is why we have to treat others with respect and kindness. Valuing respect in your household branches out into a myriad of benefits. Your child will learn to listen to others and mitigate their own extreme feelings, which will greatly aid them during their teenage years.

      There is no denying that adolescence is a turbulent time for children. Many lash out on their siblings and parents because it can be an incredibly awkward time for them. At the same time, from a parent’s perspective, this time is crucial for setting them up for adulthood and is considered to be their formative years. It is incredibly important to develop these good habits from a young age, before they are met with the challenges and tests of puberty as they experience physical changes and their mental health can be affected by this immensely.

      For plenty of other teens, this scary time can lead them to completely shut out the people around them. You may find yourself growing increasingly distant with your teen without a reason to pinpoint why. Some teens react by clinging onto their parents, afraid of new social interactions and new forms of anxiety develop. Some children might appear to have hardly any reaction to the changes
