You and Your Adolescent, New and Revised edition: The Essential Guide for Ages 10-25

â€œRelax! The horror stories you have heard about adolescence are false.â€

This is Dr. Laurence Steinbergâ€™s reassuring message to parents in this newly revised edition of his classic book You and Your Adolescent, which Publishers Weekly says is â€œfilled with solid advice for the parents of adolescents.â€ 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, â€œMost books written for parents of teenagers were survival guides (many still are). Nowadays, adolescence is too longâ€”15 years in some familiesâ€”for mere survival. Knowledge, not fortitude, is what todayâ€™s parents need. Thatâ€™s where this book comes in.â€
