Description
If you have ever found yourself second-guessing how you're raising your teenager or even at a complete loss for how to deal with some of the problems and situations they are dealing with in today's complex world that barely resembles the one you grew up in . . . you're not alone! As a parent, of course you want to see your teen succeed in school and in life—and you're always willing to do your best to help—but where do you start? How can you relate? What can a parent do that they know will make a difference? Maybe you don't know the best answers, but one of their teachers might!Veteran high school teacher—and a parent herself—Rebecca Deurlein has spent day in and day out watching kids interact with peers, make decisions, deal with difficulty, accept or deflect responsibility . . . basically being parents' eyes and ears—and there's so much she wants you all to know about your kids! In Teenagers 101, Deurlein examines how we can support our teens as they cope with the challenges of the modern world, and offers to parents everywhere practical strategies for getting teens to:
  • Be self-motivated
  • Take responsibility for learning
  • Puzzle through problems
  • Become their own advocate
  • Present themselves well
  • And much morePacked with engaging anecdotes and backed by years of experience, Teenagers 101 is the crash course all parents must take in order to learn the skills their kids need to thrive in college and beyond.

          September 15, 2014
          This manual for parents of high school students provides a no-nonsense guide for preparing teens for independence, whether at college or in the workforce. Deurlein is a longtime teacher with two grown children and a doctorate in educational leadership, so she has dealt with this issue from all sides. The breadth of topics covered is impressive, ranging from the basics, like motivation and self-esteem, to concepts that rarely appear in other parenting works, like getting the most from parent-teacher conferences and the importance of dress and manners. Deurlein tackles both ends of the academic spectrum, suggesting that many teens benefit from the “positive peer pressure” and the challenge of an AP course in one chapter and then, in the next, saying straight out that “college isn’t for everyone.” Throughout, she reminds readers that even members of the “everyone-gets-a-trophy” generation must be allowed to stumble, “deal with the consequences,” and learn that, “as much as we want something, we don’t always get it.” Armed with Deurlein’s tips, any parent should be able to give his or her teen something much better than another trophy: the self-reliance and work ethic necessary to take the first few steps into adulthood.

          Starred review from November 15, 2014

          Veteran educator Deurlein loves teenagers, and her enthusiasm for working with this dreaded age group shines like a beacon. Once youngsters reach high school, their teachers often spend more time with them than their parents; and, teachers, unlike individual families, have the experience of working with hundreds of kids over the years. There are no rose-colored glasses here, but rather a solid look at the challenges teens present coupled with practical strategies for growth and appreciation for kids and their parents. The author covers larger topics, such as motivating youth and encouraging perseverance, along with specific advice for scenarios that include attending conferences and deciding if your teen is ready for advanced placement courses. As such, the book works equally well in both the parenting and education sections. Deurlein's style is direct and chatty: "Parents, whatever you do, do not commit the cardinal sin of...doing homework for your kids." You tell your children they are incapable, and you tell your children's teachers they are idiots who can't tell the difference. VERDICT With her real-life examples, humorous dialog, zippy responses, and an overriding theme of hope, the author is the teacher all parents want their kid to have. Libraries should make room for this one.
