For caring and concerned parents everywhere, Dr. G. Scott Wooding exam-ines teenage behavior, explains the reasons why teenagers act the way they do, and provides clear and practical solutions for dealing with teenage sons and daughters in today's complex world.

Among the topics explored in this remarkable book are:

While there are many solutions available when it comes to dealing with the problems presented by adolescents, he reminds us, none is more important than remaining cool.
