| book description |

This book is not an attack on teenagers. It is not a book of woe or mockery. Having a teen means you will experience movies, music, books, gigs and life with them in a way that brings endless discovery and you will together occasionally dance to the same 'vintage' music you loved at their age (which they now dig in an ironic way). But, while they may be wonderful, they are still teenagers. And teens have always been infuriating, bewildering and occasionally frightening. These days they have a lot of extra issues to contend with; they are the iGen or Generation Z - hyper-connected from birth. Early research shows they are conscientious and hard-working, but they're also seen as anxious, fragile worriers who need reassurance . . . and TikTok . . . and Snapchat . . . and Instagram . . . and a better phone. Now. The generation gap has never seemed so small, yet loomed so large. We might like the same music, but the childhood of today's teen has been completely different to ours. Hence our confusion. This book articulates the frustrations and stresses of modern parenting and provides a reassuring reality check on how to navigate the choppy waters of raising teens in an always-on, screen-obsesses world. (Jocelyn Brewer, Psychologist)
