The Politically Incorrect Guide to Teenagers

Nigel Latta has worked extensively with teenagers, and has seen every kind of kid, family, and problem you could possibly imagine - and many you probably couldn't. In this entertaining, informative, and practical book, he shares all the secrets of surviving the teenage years alive and with sanity intact.

Once you've negotiated the terrors of toddlerdom and the perils of primary school, you think you've got a pretty good handle on this parenting thing. Then along comes Mother Nature with her horrible hormones, and suddenly you're so far behind square one, you're starting to wonder if this raging bundle of contradictions screaming at you was switched in the night by evil aliens.

With his now trademark humour and pragmatic common sense approach, Nigel debunks the politically correct nightmare of perfect parenting and argues for sanity firstβ€”yoursβ€”and reclaiming the ground parents have lost in the great 'I'm my child's best friend' debacle.

With international sales of Before Your Kids Drive You Crazy, Read This! in Israel, Portugal, Spain, Holland, Italy, and Russia, a major marketing campaign for an Australian edition next year, and a television series based on the first book in the pipeline, Nigel Latta is building a solid reputation in this challenging field.
