Parents are from Mars - Evelien Kayaert

The book you must read to understand your teenager

Ah, parenthood. What a wonderful, surprising, and challenging full-time job! Maybe you thought: I've survived the rough years. Finally, an independent child at home with whom you can have interesting conversations and go on fun outings? Wonderful... those full five minutes of parenting peace. Because, before you could blink, you're presented with something completely new: a delicious cup of brand-new hormones, with a truly unique blend: the teenager.

And while you had parenting completely mastered until recently—easy peasy—now you're completely lost. How come one moment you get a big, heartwarming hug, only to be struck dead 10 minutes later? Why does your teenager chat non-stop with the neighbor and not even say a word to you? How do you motivate your teenager to do that damned homework? In short, how do I deal with a teenager and puberty...

Evelien, a mother of two teenagers, is looking for concrete tips and answers. Enter psychologist Anky. She knows more, thankfully. Phew!
