Parents' relationship
with a child will change when the child becomes an adolescent, but
the relationship does not necessarily have to change for the worse.
On the premise that knowing what to expect of this change is half
the task of successfully parenting an adolescent, this book describes
the "normal" developmental changes young people undergo
as they enter and move through adolescence, and suggests effective
ways of relating to teenagers. Chapters in the first section of
the book deal with family basics, such as what makes a good parent,
family communication, and variants such as a working mothers and
stepfamilies. The next section covers preteens, from ages 10 to
13, including physical health and development, psychological health
and development, and the social world of the young adolescent, including
school and parents' involvement in their adolescent's education.
The third section covers these same areas for teens, from 14 to
17, including teen employment and preparation for college. The final
section covers the transition to adulthood, from ages 18 to 20,
including issues related to independence. Each section includes
a list of related resources. (HTH)
