Beware of puberty! How to understand what is going on in a teenager's head and what to do about it

Puberty is the time when childhood ends and adulthood begins, and it is equally difficult for both the teenagers themselves and their parents: during this period, many hidden problems are fully revealed - both in raising a child and with his health.

This book is not only for parents. It is like a bridge connecting loved ones who find themselves on opposite banks of a river.

The authors, who actively consult families with children, help teenagers and their parents look at the acute, painful, and sometimes very delicate problems of adolescence from different points of view: parents - to understand what their child is silent about or, on the contrary, screaming about, what feelings, sensations, emotions he experiences during puberty, and children - to realize that their mom and dad are ordinary people, with their own problems and difficulties, and they are happy to support and help even in the most difficult situation, but do not always know how.

We hope that in this book you will find a friend who will help you survive your children’s transition with the least amount of loss and remain close people who love and understand each other.

You will learn:
- How does a child change with the onset of puberty - his perception of himself, his parents and the world around him?
- How can we understand what a teenager’s overt or covert protest actually means?
- Is it possible to avoid problems with studies, communication and behavior?
- What to do if a child has serious problems: trouble with the law, alcohol or drug addiction, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, suicidal tendencies?
- How to seek and find a common language with a teenager and his environment?
