Traversing the teen years is tricky and challenging for most parents. Pornography, sex, cyberbullying, body piercing, drug experimentation, and tattoos are all part of adolescent life. How do you remain an effective, strong, and compassionate parent, able to talk to your children as they become adult?

Raising Competent Teenagers is a hands-on manual containing tools on how to maintain communication with your teen. Dr. Linda Friedland has distilled the wisdom of prominent parenting educators and her own knowledge as a medical doctor, as well as a mother of five childrenβ€”two of whom are still in their teenage years.

Over 100 issues are discussed and followed up with practical 'what to do' ideas. Topics include: brain and body changes, parent-teen conflict, implementing rules and family values, saying no, narcissism and entitlement, as well as helicopter and tiger parenting.
