Adolescence: A Guide for Parents - Tapa blanda

"Answering three big questions in an adolescent's life—Am I normal? Who am I? What is my place in the world?—this guide for parents and teachers discusses techniques for communicating well and handling an adolescent's problems. Information on how to deal with serious issues such as depression, suicidal feelings, sex, drugs, and eating disorders are provided, as is advice on how to raise children to be resilient adults and to cope with difficulties in life. Also provided are answers to parents' most frequently asked questions about bullying, family issues and divorce, and the effects of television and the Internet. While every experience of adolescence is unique, this book provides valuable advice on common concerns and includes contributions from parents and adolescents."
