FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York City USA Parents of teenagers often feel they are navigating a labyrinth without a map. They face slammed doors, silent treatments, and baffling behavior. A new book, Confident Compass: Guiding Your Teen Through Adolescence by Anita Vangani, provides a much-needed roadmap. This essential guide challenges conventional parenting wisdom and offers a fresh, empowering approach to the teenage years. It moves parents from a cycle of reaction and frustration to a place of calm and confident leadership.
Anita Vangani, a certified NLP and parenting coach, argues that the common goal of “managing” teen behavior is fundamentally flawed. Trying to control a teenager’s actions often triggers a power struggle. It damages the parent-child relationship and fails to teach the lifelong skills a young adult truly needs. Confident Compass introduces a powerful paradigm shift. It guides parents to transition from being a “manager” who micromanages to becoming a “coach” who empowers. This approach fosters a stronger bond and builds a teen’s internal confidence and decision-making abilities.
The core message of the book is that connection is more effective than control. It teaches parents how to build a relationship with their teen based on trust, respect, and open communication. The book provides practical strategies to navigate common challenges like communication breakdowns, digital safety, peer pressure, and academic stress. The ultimate goal is to help parents raise not just obedient teenagers, but capable, resilient, and compassionate adults.
Confident Compass is specifically designed for parents and caregivers of children aged 11 to 18 who feel overwhelmed by the complexities of adolescence. It is for those who seek to replace constant conflict with peaceful coexistence and who wish to build a lasting, positive relationship with their growing child.
The book also strongly emphasizes the importance of parental well-being, recognizing that a parent cannot pour from an empty cup.
Vangani’s writing style is both empathetic and actionable. She blends relatable anecdotes with clear, neuroscience-based explanations in easy-to-understand language. Each chapter combines insightful understanding with immediate, practical steps. Readers will find useful checklists, journaling prompts, and real-world exercises that make the concepts easy to implement in daily life. The tone is supportive, like a trusted coach guiding the way.
Confident Compass is now available for purchase. Parents can find this invaluable resource on Amazon, at all major online bookstores, and through major retailers. It is available in paperback and ebook formats.
