Foreword by Dr. Habib Sadeghi -- 1st myth: Teenagers are young adults who choose to act immaturely -- 2nd myth: Teenagers behave badly because of raging hormones and there is nothing we can do about it -- 3rd myth: Teenagers shut out adults and listen only to their peers -- 4th myth: Teenagers don't need a lot of sleep; they're just lazy! -- 5th myth: Teenagers are amazing multitaskers, and multitasking allows them to accomplish everything they need to do -- 6th myth: Drugs & alcohol only temporarily impact my teenager -- 7th myth: My teenager does risky and stupid things to irritate and defy me -- 8th myth: Today's adolescents struggle with mental health disorders because they've had it easy. They don't want to deal with the reality of life because they're spoiled.

By shifting one's mindset from a struggle for control to a framework of structure, nurture, and support, this book will show parents that they can not only survive their children's teenage years, but also enjoy this remarkable stage of change and prepare them for adulthood. Adolescence can be a tumultuous time for both teens and parents, but it is also an amazing developmental phase that can deepen, rather than damage, parent-child relationships.
