Nationally recognized adolescence expert Steinberg revises his 1997
title to include e-issues, extending the end of adolescence from
age 20 to 25. The good news is "the horror stories you have heard
about adolescence are false," which has been confirmed in much
research of late and over time. Dream children do not become rogue
teens overnight; parents are not helpless in the face of the peer
group; and the "decline of the family" has not doomed our children
to despise authority figures. Steinberg reiterates what successful
parenting looks like and gives both general guidelines and concrete
suggestions, highlighting mistakes parents often make. Adolescence
books abound, yet Steinberg should be one of the first go-to titles
for parents. Essential. --Library Journal
