This involves a long story but in short...my nephew who lived with his father until today is now living with my sister.
In his father's home he was abused both physically and mentally but not enough to warrant DYFS (we tried) the beating of kids for bad grades is apparently acceptable.
anyway...this nephew is 13 almost 14.
he IS handful. but of course his upbringing hasn't been been great. He was hit and grounded for most his life.
anyway..now he is living in another state away from that father and with his mother, my sister.
What I need are books that teach how to raise teenagers gently.
these books are actaully for my mother, his grandmotehr b/c she is nervous that she wont be able to handle him. He can really be a tring a child and he will be spending some days with my mother.
she is OPEN to reding and I am sending her, "For your own good" by Alice Miller and I was thinking about "Easy to Love; difficult to discpline" but I can't remember if that addresses older kids.
Also I was thinking about , "Hold on to your kids"
Does Naomi Aldort have teen specific books?

might be helpful. I'll admit I haven't read the "teen" version, but Ross Campbell really emphasizes connection.
