Synopsis

The teenage years can be a rollercoaster of emotional highs and lows, leading to behaviour that many adults find difficult and disturbing. However, as Tony Humphreys and Helen Ruddle explain, no matter how challenging a young person s behaviour may be, there is always a cause or explanation, and appreciation of this goes a long way. Helping young people towards maturity requires that adults be mature themselves. Without such maturity it is difficult to relate fully to the challenging behaviour of some adolescents. A relationship that is non-judgemental, compassionate, empathic and unconditionally loving is necessary to resolve the conflicts that so often arise between parents and teenagers. This book seeks to help parents, teachers and other significant adults to understand this troubled and troublesome behaviour and rise to the challenge of helping your teenager to achieve a strong sense of self.
