E-Books →Positive Parenting & Communication Skills

Adolescence is a complicated time for both parents and children; we have to adapt to new challenges and new situations: the Internet, the pandemic, global warming, and all the events we have witnessed in recent decades have profoundly changed the way our children deal with life and look to the future.
✅For this very reason, this guide aims to help parents speak the same "language" as their children to be a valuable support in these crucial years of education and interaction in the outside world.
"Knowledge is power"
For this reason, the first part of this handbook explains to parents what happens during adolescence on a physical and psychological level and how this directly affects teenagers. We will see in practice why today's teenagers are different from those of the past.
It is an essential first step in building an effective communication channel.
In this part, we will fully get to know the world as seen through the eyes of teens and address important topics such as:
✅ social media and the distorted body image they present to us
✅ substance abuse
✅ the responsible use of smartphones and cyberbullying
✅ relationships with friends or partners
✅ the importance of music and musical idols
✅ mental health
Once we understand our child's universe a little more, we will move on to the active part.
The second part of the book focuses on communication: we will look at how communicating means both carefully choosing what to say and knowing how to listen.
This section is full of practical tips and tools to make your job easier and more immediate; for example, we will see:
✅ 8 strategies for helping a teen in crisis

The last part of the book then focuses on critical tips for sensitive situations, such as:
