In The Secret Lives of Teen Girls, Evelyn Resh, the mother of a teenage daughter and a certified nurse-midwife specializing in the treatment of teenage girls, explores the mysterious world of female, adolescent sexuality and how parents—especially mothers—can help their daughters through this tumultuous time.

'The Indigo Children? Oh yeah . . . I know about them!   Wasn't there a movie about that?   They're those special kids who do psychic things and who have dark blue auras, right?'

Here is all the advice you don't want to hear from your parents, and if you're a parent, you don't want to have to tell your kids.  Stuff such as:

- Why you should think twice about a threesome
- Who gets rid of the condom after sex
- How to avoid an attack (and how to fight back)
- Why you should never eat nuts in a public bar
- How to play safe with party drugs

When does normal teenage behaviour become something you really need to worry about? When to Really Worry by Dr Michael Carr-Gregg will help you find out.

In this insightful book, one of Australia's leading authorities on adolescent mental health, Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, offers practical information on the symptoms, causes and treatment for everything from ADHD and eating disorders to anxiety and depression...

How can you protect your kids if you don't know where they are?

Few parents would let their children wander the streets at all hours or meet with strangers, but kids do that and more on the internet without even leaving their bedrooms.

In this hard-hitting book, Michael Carr-Gregg focuses on the special trials of raising adolescent girls today: what to do when your previously quiet, loving daughter becomes a restless, rebellious stranger who behaves like a responsible adult one day and a vampish brat the next.

'You won't find a singsong entry in this book that says, 'Magic happens' or 'Climb a tree with a child.' There are no pictures of cuddly animals . . . It's the stuff I wish somebody, anybody , had told me twenty years ago.'

No tattoos before you're thirty is a collection of witty, modern truths aimed more towards the realities of everyday life than the value of eating your greens. It's fun, irreverent...

Young people today enter puberty earlier than ever before and leave home later. The good news is that teenagers aren't impossible to live with, especially if parents adopt the common-sense strategies set out in this book.

Packaged in a beautiful gift box, this deck of 50 cards is specifically designed to appeal to teenagers. Each vibrantly illustrated card features a powerful affirmation on one side and a visualization on the other. Teens will enjoy posting these cards in their rooms and inside their lockers—and they'll love passing them out to their friends, too!
