Parenting Without Tears Guides

The second book in the Parenting Without Tears series is about discipline in the family. It will cover all age ranges from dealing with toddler tantrums up to stroppy teens.

So while I am writing this book, if you have a question or a concern you'd like included, do contact me.

You may be worried that you shout too much or that your partner is too strict, that your children are disrespectful, or perhaps you'd just like some reassurance that you're doing the right thing? Or need some strategies to cope with sibling rivalry?

All these topics will be covered in the book, but I'll answer any concerns you may have by email.

Parenting Without Tears Guide to Living With Teenagers has had some great reviews:

"This book includes some very reassuring info - there is real science behind some teen behaviours - especially the risk-taking and the long lie-ins. Each chapter has a useful checklist - especially useful for those in a hurry (aren't we all?). Best insight? when you teen tells you "everyone else's parents are letting them do X" it's generally not even nearly true. I found that one out the hard way. Preferable to read it first..." Lesley Lodge

"The biggest problem with the relationship between a parent and teenager seems to be that the teen feels like they are not being listened to and they are misunderstood, therefore I found the last chapter on communicating with your teens particularly helpful." Lindsay A

"I found that when I was reading this book I was putting myself in the role of the teen and thinking of the kinds of things I did when I was that age and found that Coates' advice was simple but effective; as a teenager I would have responded well to her suggestions." Miss S
