Keeping the roller coaster of the teen years on track takes work and wisdom. Many parents simply don't know where to start. With Dr. Jantz's help they can stop worrying about the turbulence of adolescence and take action. With included resources, reflection questions, and guidance from a Christian perspective, parents learn how to become a port in the storm for their teenager, discovering the God-designed future and promise that awaits. He's in his room for days at a time and barely responds when I talk to him....She's teary every day, one minute demanding I tend to her needs and the next minute demanding I leave her alone....What's going on with your teenager? Is it just the ups and downs of adolescence, or is it something more? Depression has the ability to derail a teenager's progress toward healthy adulthood-and confuse and frustrate you. With years of experience, Dr. Gregg Jantz will answer your hardest questions about this critical season in your child's life: • Is this "just a phase," or is it clinical depression? • How do hormones affect my teen's behavior-and what can I do about it? • How can I get help when I see the warning signs of suicidal thoughts? • Why does my teenager seem to need me some days and hate me other days? • How can I be a source of peace in my child's life, especially when I feel stormy too? This book will help you see beyond the closed-room years of adolescence and open the door to hope.
