About this collection
Teenagers want more say over their own lives, and they still need you, just in a different way. It's hard to judge when to step in and when to step back, especially when the argument is about their phone again.
These courses help you find that balance. You'll learn to help your teen manage anxiety themselves, with you close by, and to swap rows about screen time for conversations about what they actually do online. When friendships change by the week, you'll see why it's best never to take sides. There's advice on exam season from young people themselves, and on helping a teenager build self-esteem that can take a knock.
You'll also find ways to work with their school, and to look after yourself while you're looking after them.
