Review
"This book will certainly help you to get in touch with your adolescent. It is a wonderful resource for parents, caregivers and everyone involved in the life of a teen."-- Bill Cosby"This book provides much-needed help for all parents, grandparents, and caregivers navigating the difficult issues that arise during adolescence."-- Dr. Ruth Westheimer"We are all indebted to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for publishing these books. Your Child and Your Adolescent are extremely valuable tools for those on the front line of child care--parents, grandparents, and caregivers."-- Horace Deets, Executive Director, AARP"This follow-up to "Your Child: What Every Parent Needs to Know" could have been titled "Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Teens, " for its large team of editors and contributors have left out no relevant information. Addressed to parents in a forthright yet compassionate tone, the book is divided into four parts-- The Life of an Adolescent; Day-to-Day Problem Behaviors; Serious Problems and Abnormalities; Seeking Help-- and includes excellent appendices on psychiatric medications and medical, psychological, educational and developmental tests. Whether it's a section on "The Teenage Identity" or a sidebar on "Talking About Sex with Your Teen, " readers are presented with well-researched facts and solid advice backed by professional experience. Above all, the authors stress keeping the lines of communciation open, being patient and showing respect for your teen. The fourth part offers a list of symptoms that indicate a need for professional treatment, such as excessive fears and inability to make friends, plus an in-depth discussion of where to getthe proper help. This is an invaluable reference for anyone who has close contact with adolescents."-- "Publishers Weekly"

Hardback. Condition: Good. What does a typical thirteen-year-old feel, think about, and wish for? Why do teens get moody? How can a parent help menstruation? When do you know if your child is old enough to date? By describing the developmental milestones of adolescence, discussing specific questions and concerns, and examining troublesome problems, this invaluable resource will help parents understand and respond to the day-to-day challenges of the teen years. It covers a range of practical issues, from guiding your teen through the physical changes of puberty to negotiating school-related issues like popularity, peer pressure, and self-esteem, from handling your teen's experimentation with sex, alcohol, and drugs to helping them cope with the emotional turmoil that follows a divorce or the death of a loved one. Your Adolescent also moves beyond the everyday concerns to those that represent more serious obstacles to a teen's development. The latter sections of the book provide extensive discussion of the developmental problems that usually require professional intervention, including serious emotional disorders such as depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, and disruptive behavior disorders. These sections will help you determine whether your teen could benefit from professional treatment and will guide you through the steps involved in seeking help. A time of dramatic and perplexing change, the adolescent years can be the most challenging and rewarding for parents.
