What's on the CDs?

CD One

Track 1 It’s a different world
Adolescence starts earlier (between 9 & 13), lasts longer (adolescent behaviour seems to linger into the twenties) and is more difficult for our kids because of the pressures of modern life.

Track 2 Lost support structures
Today's kids are more likely to find adolescence a struggle because family, community & values are weakened in western society.

Track 3 Adolescents are in transition
The new lumps, bumps, fur and feelings are strange enough. Add in new thinking and you have a person who can be a bit hard to live with.

Track 4 Adolescents are seeking autonomy
They don't want to be you anymore - but they're not sure who they want to be. They will fight for their independence - except in areas of housework & income!

CD Two

Track 5 Expanding their relationships
Friendship is the life blood of adolescence but, surprisingly, the peer group is not the most powerful influence. Parents are the most significant factor in determining the kind of person their child becomes.

Bonus Material

Track 1 Preparing for adulthood
Skills like responsibility and effective communication are learnt during adolescence.

Track 2 Handling sibling rivalry
Hear Graham give a live answer to a question from a seminar participant about this common, and difficult, parenting issue.
