Parenting Teen Boys with Love and Confidence

"John is the real deal... He knows what kids are dealing with, what their struggles are, where their strengths lie, what they know, and what they need."-Giuliana and Bill Rancic, on Parenting the New Teen in the Age of Anxiety

Dr. John Duffy, clinical psychologist and parenting expert, has brought together 12 practical steps for parenting teen boys and helping them grow into happy, successful, capable adults.

Build a stronger relationship with your son. Recent decades have shown that boys are simply not thriving the way they should be. In How to Parent Teenage Boys in the Age of Anxiety, Dr. John Duffy has developed 12 practical parenting steps to improve your understanding of your teenager, equip him with life skills that will improve his present and his future, and bring your family together.

Practical and proven parenting strategies for dealing with the common issues that teen boys face, including gaming addictions, pornography, vaping, and drug use
New perspectives and insights on your son's teenage brain and behavior that will help you develop a more meaningful relationship with him
Methods for effectively raising a motivated young man who can overcome depression, anxiety, and risky behaviors

Industry Reviews

"Importantly, this book doesn't stop at pointing out the crisis in our midst. Duffy spends equal time on solutions, including a jam-packed resource guide filled with sites, seminars, apps, and experts to help boys with everything from finances to physical health to job searches to internet safety. He also doubles down on gentle, consistent nudges toward grace and empathy. 'Listen more than you speak,' Duffy writes. 'Use emotional language when you talk with your boys. Encourage them to keep an open mind by doing so yourself. Hug them frequently. Show them your unconditional positive regard for them on the most trying day. Bring gentleness, quiet, and stability into their loud, harsh, unpredictable world.' They're shaped by that world, after all, and they're shaping it. And it's on us to help them remember how much the world needs and wants their full, whole, healthy, complicated, beautiful selves around."
