Book excerpt: Annotation. This bestselling Australian book explores the delights, frustrations and dilemmas facing parents of adolescents. Author and clinical psychologist Andrew Fuller offers parents practical solutions to common problems adolescents face, with a refreshing emphasis on parents being there for their children, rather than on the need to adopt particular parenting skills. Fullers approach is light-hearted and supportive of parents. His awareness that adolescence is a time of enjoyment, as well as being anxiety-provoking for parents, is humorously illustrated in advice sheets around 38 typical, and some more difficult, parenting issues.
