Product Description
It might be hard to take, but parents need to face the facts--their teens think that they're stupid. Every parent will have to come to grips with that reality sooner or later, and Hayley DiMarco is ready to help them learn how to communicate with their kids to show them that their parents aren't so stupid after all. Many parents think that they have to be their teen's best friend or talk or dress like them so they'll be more "cool" in their teen's eyes. But that's certainly not the answer, says Hayley. After years of talking to teens, she knows how teens think and what their world is like, making her the perfect guide for frustrated parents who want to connect with their kids. This practical and straightforward book tells parents what their teens are thinking and feeling and gives great advice on how to improve the relationship while still being the adult.
From the Inside Flap
EXCERPT FROM CATALOG Slammed doors, rolled eyes, exasperated huffs-you've probably experienced one or all of these if you have a teen in the house. What happened? You used to be their idol and could do no wrong; now suddenly you're the stupidest person on the planet. Your teen might never have told you that to your face, but chances are they've thought it. It's just human nature. It's part of their need to grow up into their own individual and to move away from the nest. But don't worry, there is hope. You can become a Not-So-Stupid Parent when you learn some things about communicating with teens. For example, in Stupid Parents: Why They Just Don't Understand and How You Can Help, I talked to your teens about living under authority. Once teens understand that they can't fight you or get away from your authority, they have to start to learn how to manage communication in a more healthy way. In this book we'll take a look at how you and your teen interact from that same perspective of living under authority, and you'll see a move toward more win-win situations and a departure from the lose-lose battles of yesterday.

Where was this when I needed it?, Sep 13 2009
By N. Sumstine "Queenread" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Not-So-Stupid Parents: Why Your Kids Think You're Weird and How to Prove Otherwise (Paperback)
Now that 3/4ths of my children have flown the nest, I discover this book! Learning to understand where your teen is coming from and coaxing what they are thinking from them can be so much easier. Trial and error, frustration and yelling, grounding and throwing up your hands in exasperation don't have to be your status quo as the parent of a teen. Learn to communicate and how to encourage them too. Thank you Hayley DiMarco. It's a little late for us, but just in time for many.
