Story
When he was younger, he would always tell you how he loved you, told you almost everything and you never really had any secrets. Now that he is a teenager, he barely talks and only gives you one-word answers for whatever you ask him. He has even told you several times that he hates you and when you want to have a conversation with him, he just bangs the door in your face or sometimes he makes the effort but only listens to you without saying much. Does this sound familiar? This book will show you the ins and outs of just how to go about the murky waters of raising a teenage son.

When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap. In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of 15, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he'd fought so hard to forge when his children were young - particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one's own.

As a parent or guardian of a teenaged boy, you understand the unique challenges that you have to overcome - your son’s lack of communication and poor listening skills, the mood swings, lack of discipline and, maybe, even some personal hygiene issues. But the same precious and loving son is still in that overgrown, clumsy body. You just must learn to understand that most of what you are dealing with is a normal part of going through puberty and maturing.

Fantastic Book
- By Anonymous User on 31-07-2021
Publisher's Summary
On the surface, capable teenage boys may look lazy. But dig a little deeper, writes child psychologist Adam Price in He's Not Lazy, and you'll often find conflicted boys who want to do well in middle and high school but are afraid to fail and so do not try.
This audiobook can help you become an ally with your son as he discovers greater self-confidence and accepts responsibility for his future.

Good sound advice that challenges you
This is just what I needed as I've already started entering some power struggles and worrying about my near 12 year old son's overwhelm and loss of enthusiasm for both school and sports at his new school, where he used to be so enthusiastic. Price offers some sound and challenging advice, especially for mums like me who care and worry too much!

Excellence in son rearing
Even if you don’t think your son is lazy, this book is full of wisdom and insight. My sons are far from opt outs and I learnt as much about myself as I did about them. Love that it is evidence based and a meta analysis of the best current thinking threaded with real life examples. Highly recommend.
