Parenting Today's Adolescent : Helping Your Child Avoid the Traps of the Preteen and Teen Years

Normally confident moms and dads grow weak-kneed when their children enter -- gasp! -- puberty. Barbara and Dennis Rainey, parents of six teenage or older children, map out the unfamiliar, demanding landscape of both pre-adolescence (ages 10-12), as well as the teen years that follow. "Preadolescence is when convictions are shaped; adolescence is when convictions are tested", they advise parents. In Parenting Today's Adolescent the Raineys deliver a proactive, tested approach to help children and parents build a satisfying relationship while forging a vision for a productive, God-honoring life -- before, during, and after adolescence.
