This books' main focus is on the relationship a parent has with a teen or pre-teen suffering from anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem or low confidence and all that often comes with having a sensitive, rebellious or creative child. Helping to give parents, the necessary tips, tools and techniques to get the results needed to move their children forward in a caring and positive way.

It is said "It can take a big shake to wake us from a deep sleep", wouldn't it be little kinder and certainly less traumatic to be gently awakened? As a lifelong learner, Darren Curtis was told by one of his teachers, that he was put on this planet to wake people up. He pondered on this for some time and is in no doubt that this suggestion planted the seed for the title and contents of this book. An easy read, peppered with real-life examples, non-judgemental and a good dollop of humour to help digest the subject matter.

He was mindful that, even when people are in pain, so many buy a book, read a couple of chapters, then let it sit on the shelf gathering dust, never having realised the full benefit within the pages; more shelf development, than self-development This was to be the exception to that rule, by being the book that parents, teachers and caregivers would read from start to finish by choice. Cleverly designed to work on multiple levels, this book helps you to;

• gain and maintain a healthy parent-child relationship,
• talk so your teenager listens and listen so your teenager talks
• stop worrying about a negative "what if?"
• stay calm
• Break negative behaviour patterns and cycles
• tame your inner critic
• stop focusing on problems and start focusing on solutions
• ask better questions

It's interactive, so you'll get your own learning as you go, by answering the questions at the end of each chapter.

There is the invaluable option to take the free online awakened parent challenge, where the author walks you through each chapter and answers your questions along the way.
