Excerpt: "One of the most
difficult transitions a family
undergoes is the onset of their
child's transition into the
teenage years. Adolescence is
a time of "normal craziness."
Moods change in an instant,
and teens have little ability to
control them or stifle
impulses. In families with a
defiant child, the onset of
adolescence brings an
increased level of intensity
that stretches family resources
and patience even further.
New challenges must be dealt
with."

The teenage years are difficult not only for teens but for teachers, parents and
families. Adolescence is a time of change, physically and emotionally. The teen

seductive effects of our culture. Many feel alienated and isolated. And most
parents don't know what to do or how to get help. This book is not intended to
be a quick fix but a valuable guide for parents to help their child through this
difficult time in their lives.
