Parents say that the most difficult stage in parenting children is from puberty onwards. The good news is that help has just arrived! In this book, Michael Car-Gregg and Erin Shale help parents and teachers understand what is happening when and why. We also hear from parents and from adolescents themselves.
In this in-depth and lively book, the authors discuss:
- Three big questions in an adolescent's life: "Am I normal?", "Who am I?" and "What is my place in the world?"
- Useful approaches for parents and teachers: what good parenting is all about, techniques for communicating well, and knowing how to handle problems along the way
- How to deal with serious issues such as depression, suicidal feelings, sex, drugs and eating disorders
- Important advice on how to raise our children to be resilient adults and cope with difficulties in life
The book also provides answers to parents' most frequently asked questions about the effects on their adolescent children of TV and the Internet, bullying, family issues and divorce. While every parent's and young person's experience of adolescence is unique, this book gives valuable advice on all the main areas of concern.
