"Relax The horror stories you have heard about adolescence are false."
This is Dr. Laurence Steinberg's reassuring message to parents in this newly revised edition of his classic book "You and Your Adolescent," which "Publishers Weekly "says is "filled with solid advice for the parents of adolescents." Among the new topics in this updated edition:
* An expanded definition of adolescence to age 25, recognizing that college graduates often remain dependent on their parents for an extended period, creating a new parent-child dynamic
* A discussion of social media that addresses whether parents of preteens and young teens should monitor use of these new communication tools
* What new research into the adolescent brain tells us about teenage behavior
As Dr. Steinberg writes, "Most books written for parents of teenagers were survival guides (many still are). Nowadays, adolescence is too long--15 years in some families--for mere survival. Knowledge, not fortitude, is what today's parents need. That's where this book comes in."

Yusuf is at it again, but this time bringing us some epic stories of his three kids which he calls his dragons.
From the one dragon almost being airlifted by an eagle, to the other dragon who decided to use the Sun City pool as his toilet.. My little dragon is now pulling out as many feathers of that eagle as she can. Is mos self-defense. The Trainer is going befukkk, as half a bird has been plucked already. Just then I'm thinking of applying for a job for this child at County Fair. This child mos knows how to pluck man.
