For some parents bringing up your own teenager can be a bit of a strain, now with the new book from Jenifer Kolairi, Connecting People, there is now help at hand.

Supa Swap is here to talk about the stress and strain Children put onto parents in this ever demanding World we live in.
Is their attitude bad?, are their grades dropping? Do you want to look at them and say "What is wrong with you?" and having to ask yourself is this your fault? What have I done wrong? My child used to be so loving and caring and now they are my enemy.
Is it me? What have I done wrong? Why are the like this? These are the questions you keep asking yourself over and over again. I have a friend who had the same with her 13 year old daughter, feeling stuck, not knowing where to turn or who she could turn too for help, everything she did was wrong, then she came across this book called Connecting People and said from the minute she started to read and take the advice her daughter changed and the attitude between them changed until in the end they became good friends.
This book taught me to look deeper and from an outside view of our relationship, and realise that it was not all her fault.

So what sets this book apart from all the thousands on the market?
Kolairi has been a child councilor for more than 20 years and for the first time she shares all her experience and puts it into words, for this book. She states that you should not just think “What is wrong with them?” but more of a question “What is wrong with me?” and realize it is you who needs to change as well as them.
Advice
So my advice to all of you parents who think you have the hardest child in the world to control, sometimes you need to take a step back and re-evaluate the situation and think is it actually the child being the problem?.
Supa Swap recommend this book to all parents with difficult teenage children
