just get them through...

i have just finished reading a book on teenagers written by rob parsons.

how i wish i had the book earlier. it was well written with examples that we can easily identify with. and eerily too, since you cannot help but feel that he is talking about yours truly own experience. the best feeling is knowing that you are not alone in coping with our teenage children who never seem to stop giving us all sorts of headaches and sleepless nights with their demands, tantrums and late nights.

one of the most comforting reminders by the author is for parents (like me) who are in the middle of what seems to be a great battle (with teenage children) - one that they appear to be losing, not to lose heart and to take comfort that "this is not just you".

and also to remember that we as parents have to always be by our children's side"just to get them through" the difficult growing up years.

read this book. it will ease the pain and agony as we painstakingly guide our vulnerable teenage sons and daughters on their journey to adulthood.

what say you?
