The emergent adult is seen at school, on the playing field, in his first job, and in front of his friends' families. Unfortunately, his parents usually see only the regressed child-moody and defiant-and, if they're not on the lookout, they'll miss seeing the more agreeable, increasingly adult thinker in their midst.With ingenious strategies for coaxing the more attractive of the two teen personalities into the home, family psychologist Mike Riera gives new hope to beleaguered and harried parents. From moving from a \"managing\" to a \"consulting\" role in a teen's life, from working with a teen's uniquely exasperating sleep rhythms to having real conversations when only monosyllables have been previously possible, \u003ci\u003eStaying Connected to Your Teenager\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates ways to bring out the best in a teen-and, consequently, in an entire family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Riera, Ph.D.\u003c\/b\u003e, is one of the country's foremost authorities on understanding children and teenagers.
