Can anyone recommend a genuinely useful (ideally short, easily digestible) book on parenting teens?

Before we murder DD or she murders us

Untangled is pretty good. I had it recommended to me and have found it useful.

The teens volume in the How to Talk series is great: https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Talk-Teens-will-Listen/dp/1853408573

I also recommend the audio book if you can find it, try the Libby library app.

I find her very easy to read and understand too. Which is helpful when you're under stress with Teen DC! Grin

Also a book by Stella o Malley - a therapist who has some worthwhile podcasts to listen to regarding teens too.
What Your Teen is Trying to Tell You: Surviving, thriving and re-connecting through the teenage years. Stella o Malley

Second this.

The Awakened Family by Shefali Tsabary. Involves having a good look at your own issues though....

I've started looking at this one (mainly because of the brilliant title) and it looks helpful so far
