Presents an accurate view of the adolescent

There is an incredible developmental difference between a fourteen year old and an eighteen year old. Betty Staley, Between Form and Freedom: A practical guide to the teenage years, understands this developmental difference. She has presented a view of the adolescent more accurate than any other than I have read. Everything that I have experienced in working with teenagers over the years is written and clarified between the pages of her book.

Help, My Child is Becoming a Teener!

This book was very helpful to a baffled parent, struggling to understand their budding teenager. I couldn't help but be saddened by my daughter pushing me away, after having been so close. But this book gave me some insight into her changing mind and personality. I was relieved to find all of her behavior normal and predictable. Written by a Waldorf High School teacher, it embodies much of the Waldorf educational philosophy, which I found fascinating. But this book will appeal to more than Waldorf parents, it has a lot of good information and advice for any parent. I highly recommend it!
