Text in Spanish. Teaching parents a new way to approach their teenagers, this guide shows the close correlation between parents' actions and perspectives and those of their children. This reference demonstrates how parents can project their deficiencies, fears, insecurities, dependencies, and other negative emotions on teens and argues that, in such situations, parents need to change themselves first in order for their teenagers to be able to live differently. Overall, this book encourages parents to not only help their teens survive this phase but also to help them grow, reach their goals, and become strong individuals, and to do so, parents must be a source of support, not contention.
