Keeping Adolescence Healthy: Exploring the Issues Facing Today's Kids and Communities

Keeping Adolescence Healthy by Aaron White provides an enlightening exploration of the challenges awaiting parents of today's kids as they round the corner from childhood to the teen years. The writing is clear and compelling, with humor mixed in for good measure. The author takes a balanced approach when discussing such issues as violence in videogames, underage drinking, diet and obesity, sex and sexuality and the list goes on. His intent clearly is not to tell parents how to raise their kids, but to help parents make wise decisions by arming them with facts based on the latest science. This is an enjoyable must-read for today's parents and anyone else interested in helping adolescents make the most of their lives.
