La adolescencia que toca a cada nueva generación de padres parece se la más complicada y difícil de sobrellevar. Como si nosotros no hubiéramos sido adolescentes, esta etapa de nuestros hijos nos pilla por sorpresa y quedamos paralizados, sin saber cómo actuar ni de qué forma dirigirnos a esos seres extraños en que se han convertido. Sin embargo, la influencia de los padres en los asolescentes es mucho mayor de lo que se cree: pueden acompañar y ayudar a su hijo o a su hija a convertirse en una persona adulta madura, responsable y capaz. Y para ellos la comunicación es clave, no solo como herramienta de prevención de riesgos, sino también para evitar la tensión emocional que puede surgir. Solo hablando con un adolescente podemos educarlo, y solo escuchándolo podemos realmente conocerlo. --Page [4] of cover. The adolescence that touches each new generation of parents seems to be the most complicated and difficult to cope with. As if we had not been adolescents, this stage of our children takes us by surprise and we remain paralyzed, without knowing how to act or in what way to address those strange beings that they have become. However, the influence of parents on adolescents is much greater than is believed: they can accompany and help their son or daughter to become a mature, responsible and capable adult person. And for them, communication is key, not only as a risk prevention tool, but also to avoid the emotional tension that may arise. Only by talking to a teenager can we educate him, and only by listening can we really get to know him. --Page [4] of cover.
