About the Author

Arguments and disrespect became unacceptable to Christina Botto. Refusing to continue "business as usual" she set out to learn how to deal constructively with this age group.

For the subsequent eight years, Botto began discussing situations with her teenage daughter, her daughter's friends, as well as their parents. Not only did she get answers, she got results.

She methodically refined her findings, and applied these strategies as her youngest daughter went through her teenage years.

Botto's techniques and extra effort paid excellent dividends in the form of a healthier, more supportive relationship with her youngest daughter.

Botto's proven strategies, comprised of more than 20 years of working with parents and their teenagers, are outlined in her book "Help Me With My Teenager! A Step-by-Step Guide For Parents That Works."

She coached hundreds of parents who are struggling with teen behavior, in person as well as through her books. She has appeared in podcasts and has been featured in many newspapers and magazines.

"My daughter enjoyed her freedom, and still respected the rules and boundaries I set," Botto says. "I was at her side when she turned from a girl to a young lady, enjoying and experiencing changes and accomplishments - and so can you!"

"This guide is a no nonsense "how-to" that is likely to save many relationships. Being reminded to be careful of what to say, how to act, and react, is worth its weight in gold. If you need a little guidance, a friendly whisper in the ear about what works and what doesn't, Christina Botto is here for you." Rating: Must Read!
