Síntesis:
From rule-breaking and risk-taking to defensive communication and disrespect, parenting a teenager can feel like modern warfare, but it doesn't have to be that way. In 1-2-3 Magic Teen, Thomas W. Phelan explains how to better understand your teenager, which problems are not worth fighting over, and why your child's behavior likely matches the definition of a normal adolescent. With helpful, straightforward advice backed up by research and parent-tested strategies, 1-2-3 Magic Teen will help you establish a calmer, more respectful home and family life and show you how to guide your teenager into healthy, functional young adulthood.
