It’s considered a given, once your child hits puberty, that she or he will become uncommunicative, rude, and withdrawn, but there are neurobiological, social, and developmental reasons for these often-frustrating behaviors, and understanding those factors can really help us parent well.

Focusing on adolescents (covering preteens, teenagers, and young adults), Christine Carter - the parent of four teenagers, a parenting coach, and author - guides you through some of the most important factors when it comes to raising kids in the modern world. She tackles common issues, such as discipline, motivation, drug and alcohol use, sex, and social media, as well as less-frequently addressed concerns, including race, consent, uncertainty, and self-care. In these 18 lessons, parents of children as young as nine will find clear answers to their most pressing questions, along with easy and actionable tactics that are not only based on scientific research, but also road-tested on Dr. Carter’s own kids and clients over the past decade.

The good news is that parenting teenagers can be really joyful and rewarding, and this Audible Original will help guide you down a path that will make your own parenting more fun for every age and stage.


Parenting the Modern Teen Reviews


  • Allison ༻hikes the bookwoods༺

    Not as informative as I would have liked, but there were some interesting facts and helpful tips.

  • Brian

    Very well done

  • Alex Shrugged

    I gave an extra star because I liked the author and the general audio. Well done. I also liked the advice the author gave. Unfortunately, I suspect that most parents will not be able to engage in the deliberate advice given, not because these things are difficult to do, but because a parent must disengage (somewhat) from emotion and view our teens objectively.

  • Alex Stender

    Very useful to parents and carers of teenagers or anyone who will soon have them in their lives

  • Julia

    I will try out some of these tips. Wish me luck!
