Short, practical e-books for parents of pre-teens and teenagers
Understand first. Then one shift you can make this week.
Written from thirty years inside school corridors and twenty years in a Principal's chair. Each book does three things: helps you understand what is really happening (Ponder), gives you one change you can make this week (Progress), and keeps the relationship you are building in view (Prosper).
Bonus with every copy: Behind the Behaviour — A Parent's Handbook (11 pages) — six concerns parents raise most, each with one shift to try this week. A quick warm-up before the deeper book.
Want both editions (one parent reads Tamil, one reads English)? Both for ₹149 till 8 Nov.
Your chosen edition (or both) plus the bonus Handbook, sent on WhatsApp between 9 AM and 6 PM.

The slammed door. The one-word answers. "I'm fine." The phone that never goes down. The marks that suddenly dropped. Every parent of a teenager has stood outside a closed door wondering what happened to the child who used to tell them everything.
In this book I decode the most common signals teenagers send — silence, "laziness", anger, closed doors, "I'm fine" — and show you what is usually underneath each one, and what to do next. Not theory: the conversations I have had with hundreds of teenagers and their parents as a Principal, written the way I would say it to you across a table.
நடத்தை என்பது பிரச்சனை அல்ல — அது ஒரு செய்தி.
