Short Books:

The Teenage Years: Communciation and Boundaries. Is your teenager moody, argumentative and disrespectful?  Are you having difficulties making the boundaries stick?  The teens can be a terrifying period, not only for the young people themselves but also for the parents.  It is crucial to get the balance right between parental control and encouraging independence - the key is effective communication.  This book explores new ways of making boundaries work and gives practical strategies for strengthening an adolescent's self-esteem, which is often fragile at this time.  It will help you rediscover your child's friendly cooperative, responsible fun side.'

Siblings - Fostering harmony between brothers and sisters: 'How siblings get on with each other profoundly affects the quality of family life and also their view of themselves and others.  How a child relates to his siblings can affect all his relationships into adulthood.  This book gives you insights into why siblings fight.  It gives constructive ways for you to intervene when they do fight and practical strategies to help brothers and sisters get on.'
