Tips for Parenting Teenagers
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
We would like to thank all the parents who
were present last Monday at our first official event with Jacqie Brown. We
believe that we all have learned a lot from her that evening.
She recommended the following books:
* The Great Brain Robbery by Tom Scott
& Trevor Grice
* Before Your Teenagers Drive You Crazy,
Read This by Nigel Latta
* Attitude books - specifically the one
'Connected' however any in the series of 5 that they publish are a good read.
The address of “The Parenting Place” is:
300 Great South Road, Greenlane. You will find lots of resources and a very
nice café.
Another book which is a big help for
parents is "The five love languages of teenagers" and "The five
love languages of children" by Gary Chapman.
We hope to see you all on June the 27th at
Westlake Boys High School when Bruce and Amanda Pilbrow will talk about Parenting
Teenagers.
We wish you a great and successful week.
Warmest regards,
Parents Forum
