Summary: "Here is a book parents have long wanted - something to help them understand their growing-up children. That is exactly what the book attempts to do, without recourse to statistics, technical language, or laboratory experiment. Drawing upon her understanding of the best studies in adolescent psychology, upon her years of successful counseling with both parents and teenagers, and upon her own experience as a homemaker. Dr. Grace Sloan Overton discusses the tensions that arise in the average home between parents and their growing up children. She does not spend her energies, however, in diagnosis; she points out ways of dealing with these tensions - ways that are practical, constructive, loving. Here's a book for parents who want to understand their teenagers point of view, who believe in discipline but do not want to be domineering, who see themselves as still learning to be a Christian parent."
