Don’t Get Mad, Get Curious: Mindfully Parenting Tough Teens
Let’s face it: Teenagers can and do make us crazy. They make choices that seem completely 
counterintuitive, they forget their responsibilities, they put themselves in danger, and they often want 
nothing to do with us. It is these behaviors that make it easy for us to feel angry at our teen and want to 
get even tougher on him or her. Yet, paradoxically, it’s our anger which often creates more of the chaos and 
disruption that we are so frantically trying to quell.
So, how can you remain sane, strong, and available while being disrespected? How can you ensure that you 
don’t completely lose it (or lose them, for that matter) while you’re raising a teenager? How can you use 
your anger as a signal rather than as an excuse to have-at-it with your teenager?
In this book, you will learn practical and integrative solutions for how to consciously deal with the difficult 
realities of raising a tough (but aren’t they all?) teenager. We will explore how to transform your anger 
about tough teen issues into curiosity—for both your teen’s sake and your own sanity. Examining 6 
common teen issues, including academic difficulties, substance use, sexuality, body image, defiance, and 
self-injury, you will gain an understanding of the keystones of such behavior, what your teen is actually 
trying to say through their tough behavior and ways to more effectively respond to your teen and their 
tough issues.
