Surviving Teenagers - A Quick Guide - E-book - ePub

Teenagers are a unique species. They can sleep through a tornado but awaken at the sound of a bag of chips rustling. They use grunts, eye rolls, and emojis to communicate, which makes you question if they're covertly trying out for a silent movie. It's a period when they demand more freedom but continue to beg for money, which is essentially the greatest oxymoron in human history. Being a parent while navigating this hormonal minefield might make you feel like the star of your reality TV series, "Survivor: Parent Edition." From mood fluctuations that make the stock market appear stable to the puzzling disappearance of an entire loaf of bread in one sitting, challenges come in all shapes and sizes.
As much as I would like to claim that there is a perfect manual for handling teenagers, I cannot deceive you, parents. Sorry, but there is no cheat code to automatically transform your rebellious teen into a responsible adult. However, by reading this book, you just might be able to bridge that ever-widening gap between you and your teenage child.
