As we all know, adolescence is a time of growth. For many, it is an emotional time, filled with excitement, happiness, fear, rebellion and confusion. During adolescence, roles are mapped out, and identities are established. Although for centuries society has recognised the effect adolescence has on children, it has all too often failed to realise its effect on parents. How are parents performing this time? Many parents worry about not doing enough, but perhaps they are doing too much? How is this struggle affecting their lives? Written for parents, this work, illustrates just what it is that the adolescent is attempting to do - and why he or she must do it. Dr Orvin seeks to focus not only on the child's growth during this turbulent period, but also on the parents. He addresses core issues such as how parents can best help their children, spouses and themselves.
