Parenting teen boys general tips or audiobooks recommendations.

I have a 13 year old son and an 11 year old son (with anxiety). We have no real issues at the moment but I would like to be prepared for the years ahead as my relationship with my own Mum broke down as a teenager and never got back on track.

Any useful tips would be much appreciated and especially any audiobook recommendations. I am seeing a lot of books on parenting teenagers but not many Audio ones and I like to be able to listen when I am driving to and from work.

I have a younger daughter too so doesn't need to be specifically for boys.

Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Look for Celia Lashley. She’s passed away now but loved boys and was passionate about understanding them.

Steve Biddulph has a few as does Maggie Denton.

My mother said once that the only teacher who “got” my brother was Ian Lillico but I don’t know if he has an audiobook out.
