Synopsis

REBELLIOUS BEHAVIOUR OUTRAGEOUS CLOTHES TRUANCY CONTRACEPTION BREAKING THE LAW FRIENDSHIPS - Between the ages of twelve and twenty once happy, loving children can change into ill-natured, antisocial strangers who can throw family life into turmoil. And, while there is a wealth of books dealing with babies and young children, there is little guidance forparents dealing with volatile and demanding teenagers. Written sensibly and sympathetically, this book offers practical advice and information about the whole range of adolescent problems, from minor disagreements over homework or loud music to more serious issues, such as anorexia, heroin addiction or the physical abuse of a parent. The significant physical and emotional changes of adolescence are discussed in detail, as is the relationship between young people and the law. The author considers when and how to seek professional advice, and there is a comprehensive list of professional organizations and self-help groups at the end of each chapter.
