For parents, adolescence can be an awkward and difficult period. Not long ago, the child sought their advice and embrace - now they lock themselves in their room and in themselves. This stage of their development seems to distance them from everything that was important until then, as if the past disappears.
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 adolescent child tells you: "Leave me alone!" while whispering: "Hold me!". It is your job to do both.

In the fifth and final volume of the illustrated series, renowned psychologist and family counselor Hedvig Montgomery helps parents understand the evolutionary 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, awakening of sexuality, dependence on screens and social media.

As a psychologist and a mother, Montgomery knows firsthand the difficulties and challenges of raising children in our time. In the pages of the book, she analyzes all the issues that parents will eventually face, to a greater or lesser extent, gently or intensely.
