Let me start this way, as I refer to Wikipedia for more information on this raging issue in contemporary families, that has almost turn most home to a battle zone! Yes, I am talking about the teens issue, and I am in no doubt that you are aware of this same challenge that is giving many parents sleepless night and to be frank with you, many of this young adults found in this age bracket are also having a running battle explaining what is going on within them... Now, I remember this same age group we readily call teens age ... is also known as Adolescence, a word derived from a Latin word, adolescence, which means "to grow up"; well, this same word is defined as a transitional stage of physical and psychological human development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to legal adulthood or the age of majority. The period of adolescence is most closely associated with the teenage years, though its physical, psychological and cultural expressions may begin earlier and end later. For example, although puberty has been historically associated with the onset of adolescent development, it now typically begins prior to the teenage years and there has been a normative shift of it occurring in preadolescence, particularly in females. Physical growth, as distinct from puberty (particularly in males), and cognitive development generally seen in adolescence, can also extend into the early twenties. Thus chronological age provides only a rough marker of adolescence, and scholars have found it difficult to agree upon a precise definition of adolescence. Well, that been as it may be, I have heard it many times without number how challenging it is to deal with or should I say handling the toddlers can be. But, I beg to say it here and now, that handling teenagers is even more challenging. Yes, just ask any parent who has had the benefit to raise them and you will agree with me. Fair enough, I know myself, because I am a parent too.... The fact is that the adolescent years are unsurprisingly a time of conflict for parents and teenagers. This is the period when children grow into a distinct person. Well, it is also true that during these important formative years, parents want to make sure their kids maintain the values they worked hard to instill, however, Parent have to be diplomatic about how they go implementing their ideas here! The reason is obvious, and cannot be overemphasized... teenagers at this stage naturally resist and argue in an attempt to assert their forming beliefs. In reality, when parents don't manage this phase properly, the bumpy interaction between parents and teenagers often creates a time of confusion in the family. However, in this book I will be exposing concrete tips that are guaranteed to help you in the challenge of parenting your teen(s) and have peaceful family with little or no rancor. Now is the time for you to get this expanded edition of the book that is loaded with all the parenting tips to help parents perform their God given roles in a way they will be happy with the result in years to come in the life of their teens today!
