What To Do When Your Children Turn Into Teenagers
As any parent knows, teenagers dominate the telephone, play unbearably loud music, never tidy their rooms, are incredibly moody and push their parents to the limit. Yet despite all this, parents really do care and worry about their kids. Often they are just as confused about why all this is happening, what is 'normal' and how to cope with the problems of everyday life.
In this revised edition of 'Growing Pains,' author Dr David Bennett deals with the issues confronting parents and teenagers today. Topics include the perils of puberty; self esteem, rebellion and responsibility; sexuality and its problems; drugs and risk taking; school pressures, teenage depression and suicide; nutrition and eating disorders; dilemmas of family life, health care for teenagers, and much much more.
It explores the personal dilemmas parents face when the teenage years strike. While their children are experiencing adolescence, many parents are confused by their 'middlesecence'. It's a time of transition for both parents and teenagers. This book can help guide you through these difficult and challenging years.
