A new book aims to help parents by offering practical advice as they go through the tumultuous teen years with their daughters.
Dr Sarah Hughes’ book Skip the Drama, offers practical and immediate strategies for parents of potentially difficult, rebellious, or irresponsible teenage daughters.
Dr Hughes has modern, helpful advice and tips for every situation, whether your teenage girl is selfish, procrastinating, dieting, on social media, going to parties where there might be drugs and alcohol or just won’t get off her mobile phone.
Foregoing psychological jargon for language that is easily understood, Dr Hughes has written the book to be conversational and engaging.
Skip the Drama also covers heavy issues such as depression, sex, body confidence and self-harm.
Dr Hughes has covered the vast array of challenging experiences so caregivers will be equipped to face any problems that come from living with and parenting a stressful teenager.
Supported by real-life examples, studies and the latest research into the adolescent brain, Dr Hughes’ solutions are designed to help mothers and fathers grow a “stubborn, reckless or challenging teenager” into a well-adjusted, respectful, and self-sufficient young woman.
