Damn scandals! How to communicate with a teenager normally

Child and adolescent psychologist Nikita Karpov has already helped thousands of families. In his second book, he pays special attention to improving relationships and resolving conflicts between parents and teenagers. It is difficult for mom and dad to accept that their child is growing up, and this changes not only his behavior and priorities, but also his communication style, there is a need for his own boundaries, a desire to challenge the rules. In his light style, already beloved by readers and subscribers, with a bit of humor and at the same time in all seriousness, Nikita Karpov offers an effective communication strategy that will help establish contact even with the most rebellious teenager.

"If parents behave as usual, they risk being left with a slammed door. The teenager will completely close his life off from them, and it will be impossible to influence him at all. This will not just be a spoiled relationship, but a loss of contact."

Over 20 years of practice, he has become convinced that sometimes parents exaggerate the scale of the problem and try to change the teenager, which does not bring any results. Nikita Karpov cites real cases and shares proven methods not only to help families, but also to show that all conflicts can be resolved.

"Operational problems with rudeness, late returns, risky behavior, strange companies and activities, statements and decisions that frighten parents will not disappear at the click of a button. They can be influenced, but not eliminated. Only the child himself can make the decision to eliminate them.
It is up to you to choose the method of influence."
