The Puberty Game: A Guide to Help Parents Get Ready to Play - Softcover

Many parents dread their child's teenage years. But they do not need to worry if they are prepared for and anticipate the needs of their children during these difficult years. This is a practical guide to helping children experience the teenage years as an exciting period of growth and responsibility. If children are loved and made to feel useful and respected, they grow to become happy and stable adult members of the community. It is particularly important that during the years prior to puberty parents establish good relationships with, and acceptable behavioural patterns from, their children. By so doing they not only make their children's teen years easier on themselves, but easier for their children. The book contains advice on: physical and emotional changes; sex and sexuality; family relationships; rules and discipline; drugs, smoking and alcohol; self-esteem; learning difficulties; and health and nutrition.
