Description
This innovative family guide to adolescence is the first book written and designed for both parents and teenagers. Medical expert Dr. Tony Smith and family health writer Elizabeth Fenwick draw upon their experience as parents and professional to cover every aspect of adolescence from growth spurts and awakening sexuality to such problems as eating disorders drugs and suicide.Adolescence is uniquely designed to open up lines of communication between parents and their children. Colored boxes guide teenagers to those sections written just for them - such as "Your Changing Body " "Why Parents Make Rules " and "When relationships End." Real-life case studies and dialogues reveal the dilemmas facing all parents and teenagers while presenting ways for family members to resolve their differences.Loaded with professional wisdom and illustrated with specially commissioned photographs Adolescence answers questions directly and factually. Its reassuring tone reminds us that it need not be a time of heartache and hysteria. As the introduction states "Most parents do manage to remain friends with their children and most families survive the teenage years with only transitory difficulties". This fact filled resource will be a valued addition to the family library.
