Trust and Verify: How to Avoid Drama, Defiance and Danger as a Modern Day Parent of Teenagers

Discover the secrets of modern day parenting! * Is there a "socially acceptable excuse" your kids can use to reject the peer pressure (that doesn't go away and often gets worse) when they initially say "NO" to drugs? * Is there a way to know what your kids are REALLY doing and who they are doing it with in chat rooms, social media sites and email online? * Is there a way to create an "early warning system" that automatically tells you if or when your teens are driving irresponsibly or going places they shouldn't? * Is there an easy way to repair the parent - child bond of trust once your teen has broken it? * Are there parenting tools, technologies and strategies that make it possible for parents to keep up with the lives of their children and "be there" (electronically or personally) when their kids need them most? The answers to all these questions is YES and this book is designed to help parents of troubled teens, grandparents of at risk youth and parents of model teenagers who want to keep them safe and out of trouble as well.
