Power, Beauty and Legitimacy of Adolescence
If you want some help parenting the teenage years but don’t have time for a long book, this would be a good choice. It’s small but helpful. The chapters are What is Adolescence?, Parenting, The Right Attitude, Handling Unacceptable Behaviour and Teenagers Facing Other Issues.
The book is easy to read and easy to understand. It’s not all that different from what you’re probably already doing but it gives you some perspective. This is especially helpful if you are dealing with adolescence for the first time. However even if you’re on your fifth teenager, this book could be helpful.
