When it comes to teenagers, truth is way scarier than fiction.
Joanne Fedler draws upon her own current experiences as the parent
of two teenagers, as well as interviews with other parents of
teenagers to explore some of the numerous issues that one confronts
as a parent of a teenager. In Love in the Time of Contempt, she
skilfully guides us through the myriad of issues that come before
you - from their changing, developing bodies, drinking and drugs,
sex, friendships, appearance, relationships within the family,
attitudes and ethics, schooling and authority and more. In her
exploration of these issues and how they may manifest in our
children, Joanne highlights how so much of our dealings with our
teenagers is really about dealing with ourselves and being honest
about our reactions. In turn we too examine our own values and
behaviours to understand our lives together. Love in the Time of
Contempt provides comfort and support as the reader recognises the
real behaviours portrayed in the book (you are not alone!), and
whilst there are not often easy answers to troubling behaviours,
understanding goes a long way and empowers the parent to provide
the right level of support in the best interests of all. How much
and how little are questions which plague every parent and this
book's wise counsel helps us to determine that for themselves.
