Publisher's summary
A practical guide to understanding teens from best-selling author and global youth advocate Josh Shipp.
In 2015, Harvard researchers found that every child who does well in the face of adversity has had at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive adult. But Josh Shipp didn't need Harvard to know that. Once an at-risk foster kid, he was headed straight for trouble until he met the man who changed his life: Rodney, the foster parent who refused to quit on Shipp and got him to believe in himself.
Now, in The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans, Shipp shows all of us how to be that caring adult in a teenager's life. Stressing the need for compassion, trust, and encouragement, he breaks down the phases of a teenage human from sixth to 12th grade, examining the changes, goals, and mentality of teenagers at each stage.
Shipp offers revelatory stories that take us inside the teen brain and shares wisdom from top professionals and the most expert grown-ups. He also includes practice scripts that address tough issues, including:
- Forgiveness: What do I do when a teen has been really hurt by someone and it's not their fault?
- Communication: How do I get a teen to talk to me? They just grunt.
- Trust: My teen blew it. My trust is gone. Where do we go from here?
- Bullying: Help! A teen (or their friend) is being harassed.
- Difficult and awkward conversations: Drugs. Death. Sex. Oh my.
Written in Shipp's playfully authoritative, no-nonsense voice, The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans tells his story and unpacks practical strategies that can make a difference. Ultimately, it's not about shortcuts or magic words - as Shipp reminds us, it's about investing in kids and giving them the love, time, and support they need to thrive.
And that means every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story.

As a parent or guardian of a teenaged boy, you understand the unique challenges that you have to overcome - your son’s lack of communication and poor listening skills, the mood swings, lack of discipline and, maybe, even some personal hygiene issues. But the same precious and loving son is still in that overgrown, clumsy body. You just must learn to understand that most of what you are dealing with is a normal part of going through puberty and maturing.

Story
Children today live in an unpredictable, disruptive, and often violent world. Many of them live in two different homes with different sets of expectations. They face bullying at school and online. They hear news of school shootings, and racially or religiously motivated violence. They may have lost a friend or a loved one. As parents, the impulse to protect our children is strong, but that very protection can end up handicapping them for life. Rather than seek to save them from the hard things, parents must teach their kids how to cope with and rise above their problems.

Many of us know we're putting too much pressure on our kids - and on ourselves - but how do we get off this crazy train? We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board? A few years ago, Ned Johnson and Bill Stixrud started noticing the same problem from different angles: even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking any real motivation. Many complained that they had no real control over their lives.

Based on interviews with her peers and combining the latest research in psychology and social science with stories from her own life, she gives parents a new paradigm for raising kids who don't go off the rails.

As pediatrician and mother of two teenagers Cara Natterson explains, puberty starts in boys long before any visible signs appear, and that causes confusion about their changing temperaments for boys and parents alike. Often, they also grow quieter as they grow taller, which leads to less parent-child communication. But, as Natterson warns in Decoding Boys, we respect their increasing "need" for privacy, monosyllabic conversations, and alone time at their peril.

One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out - in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships - is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as best-selling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn’t take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence.

Insightful Book
Great content. He really is passionate about the healthy development of teens. Kudos too for the content available on his website. I've already made use of the teen cell phone contract.
Only negative-reason for 4 stars on performance... The audio of the "scene plays" is corny to the point of annoying with the faked voices for parents & teens. would have been better to actually have other real people just read out the parts.

Very distracting Narrator
Overall, the content of the book is fantastic. I learn and and am currently implementing a lot of ideas and reflections from the book. The 4 parent traps are excellent points to ponder.
The downside of this audible product is the narrator Roger Wayne. Whenever there is a dialog, he tried to change his voice to someone else to mimic what is in the book. He is terrible at it, and it is very very distracting and sounds disrespectful. He does NOT have to change his voice to sound like a female voice! So, publisher, please do not use this narrator.

The book is great. As somo other review said, the audio version's conversations which are supposed to be by girls and women are weired as the male narrater attempts to read in his female-mimicking voices. That was the only strange aspect. Contents are great and offer tons of insights for parents.

A Must Read for All Parents
This audiobook was very informative and thorough in a wide array of things parents should discuss with their teens. This is the closest thing to a Parent's Manual as I have ever seen.
Just get it. Read ALL if it. Do ALL of it.

Excellent book for parents and teen caregivers
This is an excellent book for parents, educators, therapists and anyone working with teenagers. Shipp covers a wide range of topics and gives specific suggestions on how to relate well to teens. I will be recommending it to all the parents with whom I work.
As a therapist, I would be remiss if I didn’t note that he doesn’t have an accurate understanding of what the various credentialed therapists offer. If you are looking for a counselor for your teen be sure to search for the distinctions between psychiatrists, psychologists and masters level therapists/counselors. The names of latter group depends on what their degree is in. The therapy they provide doesn’t necessarily.
Finally, co-regulation, as discussed in the latter part of the book, does not mean the child and the parent help to regulate each other. It means the parent joins the child in helping the child regulate until he or she can self regulate consistently. I believe this is a significant correction.
