Summer Reading List for Parents TOP 6 MUST-HAVE BOOKS FOR PARENTS: TALKING ABOUT TOUGH ISSUES “The Teen Code: How to Talk to Them about Sex, Drugs, and Everything Else”- Authors: Neal S Godfrey and Rhett Godfrey Description: In the first book ever to take us inside the teen mind to help us understand these topics, their point of view, parents will discover how to establish an environment of honesty and open dialogue in their homes so they can better guide their kids through the rocky roads of adolescence. “How to Talk to Teens About Really Important Things”- Authors: Charles Schaefer and Theresa Foy DiGerinimo Description: This book is the essential guide for those who has found themselves ill prepared-and ill at ease-when discussing some of life's most important issues with teens. In this much needed book, award-winning authors Charles Schaefer and Theresa Foy DiGeronimo offer parents a common sense approach for knowing just what to say to teens and how and when to say it. For easy reference, How to Talk to Teens About Really Important Things is organized alphabetically by topic and offers clear, authoritative guidelines on discussing a variety of vital issues such as depression, suicide, dieting, gangs, drugs, and date rape. “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk”- Authors: Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish Description: There is a way to bridge the generation gap, say child experts Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, and the methods they describe in this book have been used by many parents. They teach communication and discipline without alienating kids and aggravating the problem. Undesirable behavior, they say, is often met with remarks that make children feel endangered or unloved. The authors, who have written several parenting books, including SIBLINGS WITHOUT RIVALRY, present scenarios and dialogues demonstrating common mistakes that exacerbate the problem. Topics addressed include coping with a child's negative feelings (such as anger or sadness), setting limits while maintaining good relations, and resolving family conflicts without waging war. “How to Say It to Teens”- Author: Richard Heyman Description: Advice for parents on how to discuss potentially difficult, embarrassing, or sensitive subjects with their teenage children. Topics covered include sex, drugs, money management, body piercing, curfews, and friends. “Getting Through to Your Kids”- Authors: Michael Popkin and Robyn Freedman Spizman Description: Experts from the fields of psychology, medicine, and education offer advice to parents on how to communicate clearly and effectively with their children. Readers will learn how to talk to children about such sometimes difficult subjects as death, drug use and abuse, self-esteem, and sex. “Xtreme Talk: Real Answers to the Issues Teens Face” - Author: Curtis Eastman Description: Straight talk for parents can be found in this book.
