Review

The Ten Most Troublesome Teen-age Problems examines why teen-age children push away from their families and seem to resist all advice, instruction,and affection. Lawrence Bauman explains how the once strong family ties of love and respect seem to be replaced by contempt and constant animosity. Teen-agers have always wrestled with the problems associated with their changing bodies, their need for independence, the changes that come with more mature social interactions, and the development of a self-image. But today's teen-agers face frightening new problems on top of these: the very real dangers of available drugs and alcohol, along with the growing problems with sex and AIDS. The battle of wills between parents and rebellious children has become more perilous than ever. Yet all these problems are solvable. Bauman is not only descriptive with real-life examples, but proscriptive with specific techniques of practical resolutions for the problems reflected in the issues of teens not taking responsibility, teens filled with anger, uncommunicative teens, drugs and teens, teen-parental relationships, and more. The Ten Most Troublesome Teen-age Problems is an invaluable addition to any parenting guide reference shelf. -- Midwest Book Review
