Puberty is tough—on kids and maybe even more so on parents! Parenting Through Puberty explains the physical and emotional changes families can expect to see in their child. Dr. Kowal-Connelly covers the nitty-gritty of children's changing bodies, and, critically, she addresses the emotional toll puberty can take, covering issues of moodiness, body image, and self-esteem. Dr. Kowal-Connelly's reassuring advice also includes ways to encourage adolescents to embrace a healthy, active lifestyle in these crucial years, with tips on exercise and nutrition.

      The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has long been a source for parents on all things related to children's health and well-being, with Kowal-Connelly's guide fitting that mission nicely to address the physical and emotional changes of adolescence. A pediatrician and mother of three, the author has worked in a variety of roles for more than three decades: in private practice, underserved communities, as a school physician, and as a state trainer for child abuse and neglect. Among the major topics discussed here are body image, performance-enhancing substances, weight issues, sexual health, gender orientation, and chronic health conditions. Emphasis is also placed on the science behind young adult behavior, exploring how decisions are made in the teenage brain, and how basic cognitive behavioral therapy techniques can alter thinking patterns. VERDICT A complete and thorough guide on key challenges parents may face with their teens.
