Parenting Teen Boys with Confidence: A Therapist’s Guide to Building Resilience, Independence, and Self-Esteem in Young Men

Having had great help from Laura’s first book, “Parenting Unstoppable Girls”, this book has not disappointed with content and guidance. Highly recommended.

Laura writes with a great blend of wisdom and wit about the ups and downs of parenting teens. I love how down to earth this book is, making you feel like you can totally do this. There are well researched facts and figures and all the science you need, but the main focus is on boosting your confidence with parenting tips and tools.It's great how the book is divided into clear sections so you can find what your particular struggles are easily. I also like the tips section at the end of each chapter - easy to return to as needed.I think Laura does a clever balancing act here, combining so much empathy for parents and teens with top practical advice to empower us parents to act. She inspires you to get stuck in without every making you feel it all has to be perfect.Recommend this for all parents and anyone who works with teenagers too.

Expertly written with more than a touch of humour. The books sheds light on why teen boys act as they do but then connects this to practical and usable strategies, not just to cope but also help your teen develop into adulthood.The author sits alongside the reader acting as a guide, mentor and fellow parent; The feeling of support reassures throughout.I have worked with young people and their parents all my adult life and thoroughly recommend this book as a demystifying, yet practical guide through the teen years.

I love this book! Full of tips that I didn't know and can use quickly. I liked the do's and don't's at the end of each chapter they are really useful. Easy to read and dip in and out of. Highly recommend
