The teenage years don't come with a manual. This is the next best thing. They're Not Broken, They're Teenagers is a candid, research-informed, and refreshingly funny survival guide for parents navigating the most bewildering decade of raising a child. Inside, you'll find honest, practical guidance on: - Why your teenager's brain is literally under construction - and why that explains everything
- How to actually talk to them (and what kills every conversation before it starts)
- Social media, screen time, and the scroll hole of doom
- Mental health, anxiety, and knowing when just a phase isn't
- The homework wars, academic pressure, and college prep without the nervous breakdown
- Dating, sex ed, peer pressure, and all the conversations you keep putting off
- Driving, parties, curfews, and the 2 AM phone call you've been dreading
- Raising boys and girls in a world that makes both harder than it should be
- Keeping your own sanity through all of it This isn't a book about perfect parenting. It's a book about staying in relationship with your teenager through the chaos - with honesty, humour, and the occasional reminder that you are doing better than you think. They're not broken. They're teenagers. There's a difference, and this book will help you see it.
