Between Form & Freedom By Staley, Betty

Betty Staley explores the vibrant and exuberant nature of adolescence, offering a wise guide to raising a teenager, including: the stages of adolescence, the search for the self, the birth of the intellect, the release of feelings, male-female differences, temperaments and character. Challenges are tackled around self-esteem, pregnancy, behavioural problems, stress, depression, media, genderfluidity, eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse. Growth needs are explored in relation to family, friends, the media, education, the arts, loyalty and relationships. Parents value this wise, practical guide, as Betty uniquely addresses teenagers’ soul and spiritual needs at a time when the quest for meaning is so vital.
