Raising Confident Teens
Do You Ever Wonder If You’re Doing Enough to Prepare Your Teen for the Real World? Are you worried they’re not developing the confidence to face life’s challenges? Do you feel unsure about how to help them grow into a kind and empathetic adult? Are their moments of defiance, self-doubt, or irresponsibility leaving you frustrated and unsure of your next step? Do you wish you could guide them better, but feel overwhelmed by the pressures of modern parenting? Parenting a teenager is one of the hardest jobs in the world, especially in today’s fast-paced, pressure-filled society. But you don’t have to do it alone. Does Any of This Sound Familiar? Your teen struggles with self-esteem, constantly comparing themselves to others. They seem disengaged or unmotivated, leaving you worried about their future. The once open and warm conversations you had have turned into short, distant exchanges. You feel like your efforts to discipline or guide them are met with resistance or defiance. Social media, peer pressure, or societal expectations seem to have a stronger influence than you. You wish they’d take more responsibility for their actions but don’t know how to encourage that. You’re concerned they might not know how to handle failure or criticism effectively. You want to be a source of support, but it feels like there’s a growing gap between you two. Imagine for a Second… Seeing your teen confidently face challenges without fear of failure or judgment. Watching them radiate kindness and empathy, becoming someone others admire. Knowing they have the tools to navigate peer pressure and make wise decisions. Building a relationship with them based on trust, open communication, and mutual respect. Witnessing them take ownership of their actions and responsibilities with pride. Helping them develop resilience to bounce back from life’s inevitable setbacks. Feeling a sense of accomplishment knowing you’ve equipped them for adulthood. Reconnecting with your teen, sharing laughter, meaningful conversations, and deep understanding. Discover What You’ll Find Inside This Book Learn how to guide your teen to make confident and independent decisions. Create a home environment that feels safe, supportive, and open to communication.

Nurturing the Shy Child
DO YOU WORRY THAT YOUR CHILD IS TOO SHY? DOES YOUR CHILD SIT ON THE SIDELINES, OFTEN AVOIDING GROUP ACTIVITIES? DOES YOUR CHILD FEEL NERVOUS WHEN BEING CALLED ON BY THE TEACHER, GIVING A REPORT IN CLASS, OR READING ALOUD? DOES YOUR CHILD COMPLAIN OF "BUTTERFLIES" IN THE STOMACH, DIZZINESS, SHAKY HANDS, OR BLUSHING? DO YOU WISH YOU KNEW HOW TO HELP YOUR CHILD BREAK OUT OF HIS OR HER SHELL? With the right kind of care and attention, every child has the chance to overcome his or her shyness. Nurturing the Shy Child provides parents, teachers, guidance counselors and other concerned adults with the latest information and practical tools that they need to help shy and socially anxious kids. This book covers the entire shy spectrum-from shyness in only certain situations to social anxiety disorder-and provides proven methods adults can use to ease the child's discomfort, tailored to specific ages and levels of anxiety. Unlike other books on shyness, Nurturing the Shy Child also offers much needed information on problems that can go along with shyness and social anxiety, including depression, school anxiety, separation anxiety, excessive worry, selective mutism, and more. Written by psychologists Barbara and Gregory Markway, co-authors of Painfully Shy and respected experts in the field, this book's sensible and reassuring tone goes a long way toward preventing needless suffering in children and offers their parents some long-overdue hope.
Raising Confident Teenagers
This book is about relationship, about building rapport and understanding between parents and teenagers at a stage when it's easy for relationships to crumble or sour. It's also about behaviour: tricky adolescent behaviour but also our own (perhaps sometimes tricky), adult behaviour. It's packed with skills and strategies proven to help parents communicate effectively with their children and develop their confidence. It's a book for all parents (or carers) but it's a particularly valuable resource for those whose adolescents are exhibiting behaviour that's challenging, or whose mental state is causing concern. Many young people are suffering since Covid/lockdown, and support services often lack funding. When children suffer, parents suffer - they too need support. It's based on the principles of the evidence-based Take 3 parenting course, written by the author when she was employed as a parenting worker for the Youth Offending Service.
