Description

Following the success of her first book, Yes, Please. Thanks! mum and author Penny Palmano, This Morning's Mrs. Manners, is back with this comprehensive guide to raising teenagers. After her fair share of parenting, Penny Palmano decided to tackle what she saw as an epidemic of bad manners, and wrote a guidebook on teaching good manners to children. The book, Yes, Please. Thanks!, touched a nerve and has become a bestselling sensation. Yes, Please. Whatever! takes you, the parents, to the next stage and teaches you how to avoid the pitfalls of teenagers and all the problems specific to that age group from hormonal fluctuations and untidiness to dating. Penny shows you how to build mutual respect with your teenagers, the foundation stone for good behaviour and a good relationship. The book also includes first hand advice on teaching your teenager how to deal with siblings, relationships, exams, stress, food, money, part-time jobs, drinking, paying compliments, how to behave in public and with friends and even advice on how to teach them to pour wine. The result is that your teenager will be totally prepared in all life and social skills when they finally leave home.

Reviews

Praise for Yes, Please. Thanks! "Mum and author, Penny Palmano writes a book called, 'Yes, please. Thanks!' And all hell breaks loose. Do I welcome a book on good manners for children Absolutely." Vanessa Feltz in the Daily Express. "Author Penny Palmano has come up with an idea that is as brilliant in its old-fashioned simplicity as 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves'. Her book, 'Yes, please. Thanks!' aims to teach our children good manners." Terence Blackler, The Independent. "A new book is about to do for manners what 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' did for punctuation. 'Yes, please. Thanks!' aims to teach our children good manners." Keith Waterhouse, The Daily Mail. "Perhaps it's an unchangeable fact that every generation of adults will decry the manners of its children. What is certain that no generation has had as much reason to as this one. A new book 'Yes, please. Thanks!' by Penny Palmano aims to change all that." The Times, Required Reading.

Author Bio

After her fair share of parenting as a mum and a step-mum, Penny Palmano decided to tackle what she saw as an epidemic of bad manners. Armed with a pen, she got her firm views down on paper, and soon she had written a guide book teaching good manners called "Yes, please. Thanks!". Penny doesn't claim to be an expert but believes her first-hand experience more than qualifies her for the job.
