Adolescents: how to understand and guide them? - Professor Abdulkarim Bakkar
This book, Dr Abdulkarim Bakkar, serves as a guide for adults to navigate the turbulent "violent storm" of the teenage years, emphasising that this unique developmental stage requires specialised parenting skills and training. It defines adolescence as a three-part journey that begins around age 12 and extends until age 22, transitioning from a child approaching puberty into a young adult. The author categorizes these phases—early, middle, and late adolescence—by aligning them with the educational milestones of middle school, secondary school, and college, providing a structured framework for understanding a young person's growth during this decade of change.
