The Teenager Is Not a Coordinated Plot (Against a Parent's Sanity) - Hardcover

by Tonya Reilly (Author)

Just Because You Have a Teenager in the House Doesn't Mean You Have to Be an Asshole About It.

Herein:

• How to treat your darling as neither a large child, nor as a more beautiful adult
• How to phrase statements and ask questions in fraught, high-stakes conversations
• How to deliberately show your kid how important they are to you, even when they appear to not care one way or the other (which is never true)
• How to stay connected to your kid, even when they appear to want absolutely nothing to do with you (which might be a little true)
• How to protect your kid's trust in you (even if they suspect you have no idea what you are talking about)

The book is for when you have absolutely no idea what to do and may indeed suspect your kid is actually a coordinated plot against your sanity.
