Respected psychologist Dr. Brad Sachs helps parents to recognize
their unrealistic expectations for their teenagers and to love,
accept and nurture the family they have to its full potential. His
approach frees them to discover acceptance of themselves and of
their children. The ages twelve to eighteen are often the most
challenging and trying years for adolescents--and their parents. No
other phase of life is characterized by so much physical and
psychological change happening so quickly. And frequently the child
parents had loved and understood becomes a teenager they hardly
recognize--the child who loved music grows into a teen who wants to
play video games rather than the piano; or the little girl who
loved dolls becomes a teen who loves staying out with her older,
rebellious boyfriend. The Good Enough Teen, however, shows you how
to see your child's evolution as a window of opportunity--for you,
for your child, and for your entire family. Rather than having you
brace for your offspring's adolescence with your eyes shut and your
jaw clenched, this book will help you to understand the invisible
transformation teens are experiencing, as well as the ways in which
your own adolescence intimately influences this understanding. You
will find yourself better able to see even your child's most
exasperating behaviours as steps in his or her striving towards
maturity, rather than chronic problems or mean-spirited efforts
designed to make you miserable. The Good Enough Teen presents a
developmental overview of what parents can expect from their
children during adolescence, then delineates the five stages in the
journey towards accepting a child for who he or she is. With
prescriptive tools and strategies for parents, including
checklists, quizzes, and exercises, and numerous case studies from
the author's own practice, The Good Enough Teen is vital help for
any parent with a teenager.
