{"product_id":"book-ee82","title":"Surviving Your Child's Adolescence","description":" Pesents a dynamic 4-stage model of adolescent growth that helps  parents predict many of the common developmental changes that will  unfold.    Early Adolescence (ages 9  13.) The function of  the first adolescent stage is to accomplish the separation from  childhood. The parenting challenge during this stage is to absorb  the childs negative response to giving up the comforts of  childish ways and to enduring parental restriction of personal  freedom, without taking these injured feelings personally or  reacting negatively in return.  Mid Adolescence (ages 13  15.) The function of the  second stage of adolescence is to establish an independent  family of peers.  The parenting challenge during  this stage is to provide loyal opposition to the young  persons push for more social freedom with friends when it  appears unwise or unsafe, without resorting to coercion or censure  to settle disagreements.  Late Adolescence (ages 15  18.) The function of  the third stage of adolescence is to experiment with acting older  to get ready to operate more grown up. The parenting challenge  during this stage is to allow more grown-up freedoms while  imparting the necessary knowledge and insisting on the commensurate  responsibility needed for successfully mastering the next level of  independence soon to come.   Trial Independence (ages 18  23.) The function of  the fourth and last stage of adolescence is to practice taking care  of oneself on ones own. The parenting challenge during this  stage is to communicate full faith in the young persons  capacity to assume more independence, to let go and still be there  to provide helpful advice and problem solving when asked, without  rescuing or criticizing when the young person makes a serious  mistake.  It also differentiates parenting challenges between  mothering and fathering adolescent sons and daughters.
