Help for understanding your Adolescent child,
By
This review is from: Your Adolescent (Hardcover)
Your Adolescent is a wonderful book from the trusted professionals at the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. It includes information on normal development, developmental milestones, physical, behavioral and emotional growth.Another major section has advice on simple day to day problem behaviors that all parents will encounter, including problems at home and in school. The last section has information on more serious problems, such as behavioral and emotional disorders, substance abuse, eating disorders, and psychotic disorders. All of the advice and information will help you raise a happy and healthy teenager. The book is well written and easy to read and makes a handy reference book. It also includes an appendix with information on medicines used in psychiatry, a discussion of tests used in diagnosing problems in adolescents and it has a glossary of common medical terms. Overall, I highly recommended this book to all parents of adolescents.

This review is from: Your Adolescent: Emotional, Behavioral, and Cognitive Development from Early Adolescence Through the Teen Years (Paperback)
We were dealing with a near-teen child who rarely talks to us and after reading this book and it's counterpart, we have gotten her to open up and talk to us constantly. No parent should be without this book.
