What everyone should know about teenagers and drugs ...

People, particularly the young, take drugs because they enjoy the effects they have on their moods. But for every high there is a low. For every trip, a return journey.

All children entering adolescence need to know that there is no short cut to happiness through chemistry. There is only a short circuiting of the brain wiring that makes them, them.

Today we know so much more about how the brain works and, importantly, how it matures.

The most effective way to deal with drug problems is within the family. With so many ... more

Why do they leave everything to the last minute? Why are they so messy, and why doesn't it bother them? Why are they fascinated with things that can burn, blind and cripple them? Why don't they care about clothes or if their hair looks nice? Why do they lose the gift of speech at adolescence and how do I keep communicating with them? Why do they get so smelly? Why can't they just meet a nice girl, settle down and make me some grandkids? All this and more will be revealed with Nigel's trademark entertaining and edifying style, including pragmatic and accessible text, with quirky but relevant research and fascinating case studies to help mothers cope with the particular challenges involved in raising their sons.
