Publisher's summary

Leading psychotherapist Stella O’Malley has walked many miles on ‘Planet Teen’. She understands difficult teenagers – she was one herself, and as a psychotherapist she has spent many hours working alongside unhappy adolescents.

Stella takes parents inside the teenage brain and provides practical advice for each of the key milestones teenagers need to tackle during adolescence to become happy, healthy adults.

You will learn how to navigate many issues, including anxiety, obsession with technology, body confidence and the sexual self. Rather than always looking to ‘fix’ the situation, you will instead be empowered to know when and how to intervene and when to allow your teen to work it out for themselves.

Ultimately, you will understand your teen better and learn to rekindle the joy in your relationship.

A great guide for parents as well as for anyone who works with teens

Lots of practical advice supported with findings from developmental psychology. Fascinating case studies of some of author’s patients. Although this book was written for parents, it is also an interesting read for those who try to understand themselves as teens.

Solid advice for parents of teenagers

The reader was great. But I was disappointed Stella O’Malley didn’t read the book herself.
