Love in the time of contempt : consolations for parents of teenagers
Fedler, Joanne2015
Books
This is a text about how it feels to be the parent of someone sprouting hair, tits, and attitude all over the place. It is a tussled, frazzled and complex business to remain mature while supporting someone to become an adult. At the very least, it raises the question of whether we have, in fact, done enough growing up ourselves. The book is an honest look at the dramas and delights of parenting people who know it all, don't yet have a full functioning brain and who desperately need us to parent them - just not in the way we're used to.
