Understanding 12-14-Year-Olds

Margot Waddell

Summary

How much independence should parents allow teenagers who claim rights and privileges, show excessive confidence and test the boundaries of discipline? How can parents handle the physical and emotional changes in their adolescent child? 
This book offers helpful advice to parents whose children have reached the turbulent teenage years. From conflict management to issues of bullying, stealing and smoking, it guides parents as their children alternate between maturity and immaturity and develop their own identity. It explains the impact of school life, group pressures and close friendships on 12-14-year-olds' development and helps parents to offer their child support, while accepting his or her increased need for privacy. Alongside these challenges, the author reveals the rewards of sharing in these young people's enthusiasm and ambitions, as they grow more confident and responsible. 
This book provides practical and sensitive advice for parents to help them relate to and communicate with their child at a difficult time of transition, while being prepared to question what they thought they already knew about their son or daughter - and about parenting.

Dark Psychology - Learn about...

Amanda Grapes

There are three titles in this book, which are the following:
Book 1: What is the dark side of human nature?
Do people look out for themselves or for each other?
Why do people bully each other or tear others down?
Issues like these will be discussed in this brief but informational book. Topics like bullying, schizophrenia, other personality disorders, and domestic violence will be addressed. Last but not least, your thoughts will be altered about liars and the ethical dilemma of telling lies. In this sense, this book shows you a variety of interrelated topics that will shape your view on said topics.
Book 2: Men and women are not the same. We all know that they think differently. But how do they use those thinking patterns to get what they want? How do they persuade the other gender to give them what they desire? This is where some human psychology will be helpful. The differences will be addressed in the first chapter of this book.
Moving on, some false concepts about mind control will be discussed, as well as persuasion techniques that you may have never heard about. The reasons why people choose to buy or do something, is something that will be a determining factor to understanding the psychology of persuasion. This is what you will learn.
Book 3: Some people will do everything they can to manipulate another person. Some of those people are even dangerous. In this guide, you will discover how the craziest serial killers have managed to get away with their horrific crimes. You will also learn secret strategies to outsmart manipulators, so that you will not become the next victim.
We all have a need to know the truth. Figuring out how to notice deception is mandatory for our survival and happiness. Don’t let this chance to learn something new pass you by.
