Features: Dedicated to all parents with daughters entering adulthood. Why do parents often feel anxious when their children enter adolescence? Some parents discover their children engaging in early relationships, having sexual relations too early, or even experiencing pregnancy and abortion. Some find their children associating with bad gangs or showing serious violent tendencies. Others are constantly threatened by their children wanting to run away, regardless of whether they have problems. As parents, they all want to know the answer: What can we do to help our children navigate adolescence smoothly? This book does not analyze current family issues from a philosophical or abstract perspective but provides practical solutions to answer parents' questions: The most important thing is to give your children more love, and secondly, to choose a wise way of loving that meets their needs. All research shows that parents have the greatest impact on teenagers. Only when parents no longer fulfill their guiding role are criminals, friends, or classmates likely to take over. As long as parents have unconditional love and wisely understand their children, they can guide them safely through adolescence.
