Beyond Listening: Bridging the Communication Gap Between Parents and Teens (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781636767963)

With the growing number of teens owning smartphones, internet usage has risen. Nearly 45 percent of teens report near-constant use of the internet. The question becomes, how do parents communicate with a generation that would rather look at a screen than communicate face to face?

Beyond Listening is a look at how to understand your teenager from new perspectives. It uncovers ways to bridge the gap between parent and teen communication and build stronger, healthier relationships.

In this book you will learn how to listen with more than your ears. You'll hear stories such as:

• How Lisa herself got busted for missing curfew as a teen, despite being home in bed.
• How a teacher realized young Clint Pulver's potential even through his trouble-making behavior.
• How a teenage girl's self-image was warped by her father's drastic reaction to catching her with a boy in her room.

Beyond Listening is a must-read if you are a parent, if you deal with teenagers in any way, or if you have trouble communicating. This book speaks to parents of teenagers, teachers, and coaches who are willing to look at communication and listening in a new way.
