Library Journal Review

Adolescence is a difficult time for both parents and children. Rapid change leads to a need for independence and a need for different parenting techniques. Barocio, a Montessori and Waldorf teacher with over 30 years' experience, gives parents and teachers useful tools for dealing with adolescents. She points out that they are too old for the methods used with young children, but they still need guidance in order to develop into responsible young adults. Barocio suggests listening and guiding rather than lecturing and imposing strict rules, showing understanding and interest rather than being judgmental and critical, accepting and valuing rather than trying to change. Using the heart and appreciating the child will lead to growth and success. This is excellent advice for both parents and teachers. A very useful book for parenting collections.-Barbara M.
