Have you ever wondered what goes on in your teenager's mind? This fascinating book will equip you with the tools to understand exactly that, in order to maintain the close connection you need during these challenging years. Following her acclaimed work for parents of younger children, Sheila Redfern brings the mindful parenting model to parents of teenagers. Teens may seem difficult and hard to reach, but Dr. Redfern shows us how this period in your child's life can be more enjoyable and connected than you ever imagined. Instead of focusing on their behavior, this book highlights how we can teach teenagers to manage their emotions and relationships in safe ways. It supports theories underpinning mindful parenting – the psyche, attachment, and neuroscience – as fundamental to developing resilience and security in young people, which is critical during turbulent adolescence. The chapters are filled with everyday relatable scenarios and practical advice for urgent issues like self-harm, social media and gaming, risk-taking, and ASD. There is also a chapter dedicated to foster parents and caregivers. This practical guide aims to help readers become more mindful and available as parents and to understand what might be on their teenager's mind. It also serves as a key resource for clinicians working with families.
