A practical guide to manners, boundaries, and teenage independence

Penny Palmano’s parenting guide concentrates on the everyday negotiations of adolescence, from untidiness and dating to exams, money, drinking, and part-time work. Mutual respect is presented as the basis for both behaviour and a workable parent-teen relationship. Alongside household conduct, the book addresses social confidence and practical independence: handling siblings and friends, managing stress and food, behaving in public, paying compliments, and developing skills for life away from home. Its broad scope places etiquette within the larger transition from family dependence to greater responsibility.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents seeking guidance on common teenage behaviour and household tensions
  • Families navigating teenagers’ growing social and practical independence
  • Caregivers interested in manners, respect, and life-skills conversations

Book overview

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.
