Many parents dread the transition of their happy children into unmanageable adolescents who engage in risky behavior. This negative portrayal, often perpetuated by the media, overlooks the fact that most adolescents are responsible individuals who value their families and seek parental support. Research indicates that the quality of the parent-adolescent relationship is vital for the well-being of young people. Parents are encouraged to establish reasonable limits and expect appropriate behavior from their adolescents. Studies show that children who enjoy positive, caring relationships with their parents are more likely to act responsibly during adolescence. This behavior does not arise in isolation; it is influenced by earlier family experiences. The extensive research presented in this volume aims to assist practitioners across various fields—social workers, youth leaders, welfare workers, religious leaders, psychologists, and psychiatrists—in better understanding adolescents and their development. It emphasizes the critical role families play in shaping young people's lives, ultimately contributing to a more informed perspective on adolescent behavior and development.
