For parents, adolescence can be an awkward and difficult period. Not long ago, the child sought their advice and embrace – now they retreat into their room and themselves. This stage of their development seems to distance them from everything that was important until then, as if the past is disappearing. Fortunately, this is not the whole truth. Independence is achieved when the child feels safe. During this period, you are simultaneously less important and more necessary. In many ways, the teenage child tells you: "Let me go!" and at the same time whispers: "Hold me!". Your job is to do both. In the fifth and final volume of the illustrated series, acclaimed psychologist and family counselor Hedvig Montgomery helps parents understand the developmental process of adolescence and the unique needs of children during this period through real-life incidents. At the same time, she suggests ways to successfully manage important issues such as emotional outbursts, anxiety, peer pressure and bullying, the awakening of sexuality, dependence on screens and social media. Montgomery, as a psychologist and as a mother, knows firsthand the difficulties and challenges of raising children in our time. In the pages of the book, she analyzes all the issues that, sooner or later, to a mild or intense degree, parents face. Christina Rasidaki,  Psychotherapist - Parent and Educator Counselor
