GAIN A REAL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOUR TEEN DAUGHTER IS GOING
THROUGH AND HAVE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH HER BY USING THE #1
CHRISTIAN TEEN PARENTING EBOOK PROGRAM
A MESSAGE FROM RELATE FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN
COMMUNICATING WITH AND HELPING TEEN GIRLS REACH A HIGH LEVEL OF
SELF-ESTEEM. We have listened to their struggles and given them
Christian advice that has changed the lives of thousands of teens. It
all started when the founder of Relate, Mary Bowman, was determined to
give teens a positive voice that told them the true message of their
worth in a negative, image-focused society. As Mary worked with teens
and youth groups, the desperate need for this message became apparent.
By reaching so many teens, WE HAVE HEARD FROM HUNDREDS OF PARENTS WHO
WERE GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND A POSITIVE, CHRISTIAN SOURCE FOR THEIR
TEENS AND WHO WERE CRAVING TO LEARN HOW THEY COULD BECOME BETTER
PARENTS. Using our years of experience publishing a teen magazine,
mentoring teen girls and studying the Christian worldview, we created
a system that helps both teens AND parents. Today we are happy to
share with you OUR FORMULA FOR BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN TEEN GIRLS AND THEIR PARENTS, SPECIFICALLY FOR CHRISTIAN
FAMILIES.
God Bless!
Publisher of "Relate" and "Relate to Teens"
PARENTS HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO RELATE TO THEIR TEEN
DAUGHTERS. THESE ARE JUST A FEW
* How can I make my teen understand that I want the best for her?
* Why does my teen seem to struggle so much even though I provide
everything we can for her and love her so much?
* How can I help my teen see a truly Biblical perspective on her
life instead of the mainstream view?
* Why does my teen shut me out?
* What else can my teen be going through that I didn't experience
when I was a teen?
* What can I be doing better as a parent to make the teen years
easier for my daughter?
After years of experience, research and talking to many teens and
parents, we found the best way to build a strong relationship with
teens. Here's just some of what we found
MOST PARENTS GIVE UP OR GIVE IN
After trying endlessly to communicate with their daughter, they
either give up trying to get their message to her or they give in to
their daughters to keep the peace and maintain some sort of
relationship with her. Do you find yourself saying things like "Well
if I can't get her to understand where I am coming from, I might as
well let it go so she knows we love her. If I keep at this she will
end up hating us." While sometimes we have to choose our battles, this
is not true for the most important issues in your teen's life. We
decided to find out from teens what it takes for them to relate to
their parents. We found that one of the most important things a parent
can do is truly listen to their daughter and acknowledge her side.
Once parents drop their walls and meet their teen at her level, it
becomes much easier to communicate with her. Teens open up and once
they know they are being heard, they are willing to hear what the
parent has to say as well. Teens need to have a voice and they need to
be understood. They want their parents to "get" them and they need
healthy relationships at home. It is these relationships that have the
greatest impact on how teens respond to life. Teens today go through
experiences that are much different than what you experienced
yourself. While some common issues are the same, society and media has
complicated life for teens and they struggle through battles you never
had to deal with. One of the most alarming areas is that of body
image. You hear the message from the media yourself. Try to imagine
hearing that voice as your body is changing and you are discovering
who you are for the first time. It can be crippling. You might be
feeling overwhelmed at the responsibility you hold as a parent. We
know that it is your deepest desire to do the best you can as a parent
and we want to help you succeed. Finding valuable parenting resources
from a Christian perspective is extremely difficult, but is essential
for you to get the right message to your teen. You may pressure
yourself into believing that because you were raised in a Christian
home or because you pray for help from God, you should have all the
answers. But, this is simply NOT true. Our experiences shape and teach
us and God hears our prayers, yet seeking more help and doing what you
can to truly understand your teen can only help you achieve your
parenting goals more easily.
WE KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A WAY
So, we went looking for answers. We found that most of the parenting
books available either were too mainstream (unable to agree with what
it taught), they were too parent-focused (not showing the teen side of
things) or they were gender-neutral (not helping understand the
dynamics of females). We also realized that few resources were
available that encourage teens and parents to work TOGETHER to build a
strong relationship. Most books were for parents to read and apply on
their own. But since relationships are two-sided, we knew the best
approach had to involve parents AND teens. We understand teens and
parents and we knew an approach that we could share. So we created
RELATE _AND_ RELATE TO TEENS EBOOK SERIES
Who said you can't work together with your teen to develop a great
relationship with her and learn how to actually relate to her? This
PROVEN PROGRAM will get you through your daughter's teen years and
create the RELATIONSHIP AND COMMUNICATION that most parents dream of
having. It contains information that we believe will HELP you to
understand your teen and take the confusion out of parenting her!
_RELATE_ is the guide your teen needs and _RELATE TO TEENS_ is your
parenting guide. They can be used individually or together in a
variety of settings to get the best results. Inside _RELATE TO TEENS_,
you will learn EXACTLY what your teen is experiencing and what she
needs from her parents. AT THE SAME TIME, inside _RELATE_, your teen
will learn how to deal with her teen struggles and get advice on how
to communicate with her parents. Included in BOTH books are "workbook"
areas for thinking through important questions and
journaling--essential for self-discovery and growth. The first topic
in our eBook series is SELF-ESTEEM & BODY IMAGE
Here's What One Satisfied Mom Had To Say About RELATE TO TEENS:
SELF-ESTEEM ">"RESPECT! It is all about respect! This book is
incredibly helpful to parents of all teens, not just girls. The
information is practical and thought provoking. I would recommend it
to parents of all ages-with kids of all ages-to get a real feel for
what your teens are going through, or will be going through, and what
they need but may not necessarily show in direct ways. The exercises
are well done and will help you to put yourself in your teen's place.
It really helps to take the confusion and embarrassment out of
conversations with your teen." _--KATHLEEN _

"I love that I finally found a Christian resource for parenting my
teen. It is hard to raise a daughter with a Christian worldview, and
this book helped me put things in the right perspective with her. I
was able to use Christian principles and still be able to really
relate to her. She instantly became more receptive to me when I
started using some of the tips and suggestions in the book. This is
very helpful for our relationship!" _--CHRISTINE_
"Relate: Self-Esteem ">"As the father of two teenage daughters, I
have always had a hard time understanding my girls. I have no idea
what it is like to be a teen girl so it can be hard to relate to them.
This book finally opened my eyes to what sorts of things they are
going through and a lot of things make sense now! This is an excellent
tool for any parent that feels a little out of the loop with their
teen." _--MIKE_

HERE'S WHAT A FEW OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT _RELATE_ ">_ _
"My daughter and I went through these books together and shared
some incredible moments. I was finally able to talk to her about some
serious issues, without sounding like a preaching parent. We were able
to quickly bond and learn a lot more about each other and she has
really opened up about other issues as well. Great advice for any
parent of teen girls!" _--PAT_
"Me and my friends have struggled with our body image because of
what we see on TV and in tons of magazines. When I read this book it
opened my eyes to a new way of thinking and has really helped me feel
better about the way I look. Doing the exercises that are in the book
made me think about things more than just reading them, too. This was
a great book for me to read!" _--MARIE_
