A Manual for Successful Teen Parenting
This book is one I wish I had earlier. Having raised teenagers, I had to learn while doing and while making my way in the parenting jungle. This book has clarified a lot for me – things I did well and those I could have done better. These practical tips are clearly explained and really easy to follow.
I especially love the advice on self-care that the author provides in Chapter 4. She makes it so easy to do – having a quiet cup of tea, taking moments for a short walk, playing your favourite sport... So helpful!

The seven steps are easy to follow, and the examples made it easy to see how I could use them in everyday conversations. I liked that the focus wasn’t just on getting your teen to listen but also on how parents can improve their listening skills. I’ve already noticed less conflict and more understanding between us. If you’re looking for ways to bridge the communication gap, this book offers practical and insightful advice.

Dr Mars’ quote “Our job is not prepare the path but to prepare them for the path”
I have 4 children and loved this book. There were many take-away for me, I will definitely listen more to my children now. Love the way this is written, it’s an easy to read, chatting style, the author comes across as knowledgeable but likeable. Love that she wears her heart on her sleeve, and shows her vulnerability and insecurity as a parent. There is no bossing or lecturing, she just wants to help us with the most difficult job in the world.
