Parenting adolescents is one of the most challenging and hardest
jobs around. What makes it even harder is that there are no real
guides or training manuals to assist in this process of parenting.
As parents, we feel helpless at times. We run out of ideas; of
things to do; of ways to approach a situation. We also run out of
patience. Why can't teenagers just do as they're told? Why do they
always have to push the limits? Further, with all the changes that
society is experiencing and all the stresses of life that confront
us, the parenting role seems to be getting harder. It doesn't
however, have to be this way. If parents are prepared to seek
advice and learn to be parents, then their children will develop
like at least 80 percent of adolescents do -- relatively
well-adjusted and capable individuals. Our kids do turn out okay.
This book shows how to make sure that everyone can turn out
alright. This book discusses some of the basics of growing up that
parents need to know, and shows why adolescence is so "rocky." It
also provides the secrets to giving your teenager healthy
self-esteem before looking at how the adolescent can become
independent and responsible. The real role of adolescence is
finding one's identity. A tricky job at the best of times. The book
outlines four major ways in which adolescents are able to find
their own identity. The role of parents is to be the model and walk
the talk. They also need to know how to "let go." There is a
chapter of 30 Hints for dealing with adolescents plus a chapter
headed Frequently Asked Questions. The book is punctuated with
cartoons and quotes plus numerous case vignettes from the author's
role as a clinical psychologist over three decades, his role as a
life coach, a university lecturer, and importantly, father of three
young adults.
