Please could anyone recommend some good books for parenting teens - I feel utterly lost! I was brought up in a single parent family by my very eccentric dad - mum died when I wad 3. DH is there but not remotely involved in any of the parenting that entails being the bad guy (this is another thread entirely). I feel like I have no framework to base my decisions on and no backup. I need a user guide!

‘Get out of my life, but first can you give me a lift to town?’ Or similar is good.

I found ‘We Need To Talk : Raising resilient teens ‘ by Ian Williamson really helpful. My 12 year old DS has turned into a teenager overnight and I had no idea what to do...

There’s a writer/ researcher called Nicola Morgan who writes for and about teens. I teach teenagers and heard her at a conference a few years ago. She has a good website too.

Thanks for the recommendations - I will take a look at all of them. Nicolas Morgan in particular sounds very interesting.
