In Got Teens?, the Doctor Moms combine their medical and psychological knowledge with their own personal experiences as mothers to comprehensively address your preteen’s and teen’s most cringe-worthy and difficult questions. They want you to know that you’re not alone—they’re here to help.
Addressing topics that include body development, emotional changes, and substance abuse, Got Teens? aims to give parents the ability to decode their kids’ behavior and the confidence they need to tackle these subjects with authority and compassion. The Doctor Moms offer an overview of the “facts” that readers may have forgotten about puberty and the adolescent years, and show parents how to parlay what they know into open and empathetic communication. From when your child should get a smart phone to how to deal with online bullying to how to discuss sexual orientation and birth control, Got Teens? covers it all—including everything you never learned in sex-ed.
My thoughts:
Great book! It's like getting advice from your best friend.
Got teens is my go to book, and will be for many years. My daughter is almost eleven and constantly asking me questions about when will she get her period, because her best friend got hers at ten years old. This book gave me the guided information I needed to explain to my daughter what she needed to know. It was a relief to me to read the section in the book that explains growth spurts in girls, as my daughter gets self conscious of her height.
I especially liked the information I read in the section of this book "Why can't my child sleep". Both my daughter and seven year old son have difficulties sleeping. The easy read approach Levkoff and Wider give was extremely helpful. I have incorporated new routines that have started to help, thanks to this book.
I lent this book to my best friend who is raising her grandson, who is now almost fourteen. There was so much she had forgotten, since her sons are grown. She was so greatful to have borrowed this book from me. She is going to purchase her own copy.
After reading this easy to understand book, I am able to communicate with the approaches Levkoff and Wider with my daughter. There is so many topics these two doctors touch on like puberty, social media and eating and body image just to name a few. A definite must have for anyone who has children in their home.
You can grab a copy of this awesome book on Amazon.
