x, 415 pages ; 24 cm, \"Relax! The horror stories you have heard about adolescence are false.\" This is Dr. Laurence Steinberg's reassuring message to parents in this newly revised edition of his classic book \"You and Your Adolescent,\" which \"Publishers Weekly \"says is \"filled with solid advice for the parents of adolescents.\" Among the new topics in this updated edition: * An expanded definition of adolescence to age 25, recognizing that college graduates often remain dependent on their parents for an extended period, creating a new parent-child dynamic * A discussion of social media that addresses whether parents of preteens and young teens should monitor use of these new communication tools * What new research into the adolescent brain tells us about teenage behavior As Dr. Steinberg writes, \"Most books written for parents of teenagers were survival guides (many still are). Nowadays, adolescence is too long--15 years in some families--for mere survival. Knowledge, not fortitude, is what today's parents need. That's where this book comes in.\", \"New and revised edition\"--Cover, Revised edition of: You and your adolescent : a parent's guide for ages 10 to 20 / Laurence Steinberg and Ann Levine. 1997, Includes bibliographical references (pages 391-400) and index, Good news about adolescence -- The basic principles of good parenting -- Family communication and problem-solving -- Special challenges for today's families -- Changing bodies: puberty and physical health -- Everything you and your adolescent want to know about sex -- Inside the brain and mind of the young teenager -- New feelings and emotions -- The power of the peer group -- Your role in your teenager's education -- Talking about tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs -- The search for identity -- Friends and social life -- Sex and the high school student -- School and work -- Alcohol and drug use in high school -- Problem behavior -- The college years -- Young adulthood
