The teenage years are an unpredictable and challenging period for both parents and the child.

Using simple and accessible language, the author discusses the physical and emotional changes associated with this period. She describes the challenges that many teenagers face, such as conflicts with peers, growing independence from parents, and stress and anxiety related to school and academic success. In the book, Larisa Surkova raises difficult questions for parents: how to find common ground with a teenager who struggles with communication, emotional management, overcoming unforeseen difficulties, and how to protect them from negative influences, as well as much more.
