Welcome to my book series on Adolescents

This compilation brings together my three books: Adolescence... Blessing or Curse?, Teens in Danger, and Successful Teens. The series was created as a comprehensive and practical guide for parents and educators navigating the unique challenges of adolescence in the 21st century.

Adolescence is a critical stage of life that, according to the prestigious medical journal The Lancet, now spans from ages 10 to 24. This extended transition into adulthood is filled with physical, emotional, and social changes that shape the identity and future of young people.

​

In Adolescence  Blessing or Curse?, we explore how friendships, video games, social relationships, and addictions affect both teenagers and their families. We examine how parental love, while powerful, can sometimes blind parents to their children’s struggles. The book emphasizes the importance of parental presence in building trust and addressing sensitive issues such as sexuality, shifting preferences, and gender identity. It also reflects on the differences between the adolescence today's parents experienced and the one their children are going through now—helping to contextualize the dangers and pressures facing the new generation.

​

Teens in Danger takes a deeper look at adolescent sexuality, gender identity, and addiction. We discuss the intense social pressure teenagers face today, including the rising visibility of bisexuality, and the challenges parents encounter when addressing these topics with their children. The book also offers guidance on how to support non-heterosexual teens and highlights the importance of inner healing and forgiveness in parents to move beyond judgment and prejudice. It explores both substance addictions and psychosocial dependencies—such as gambling, sex, and emotional fixation—and invites reflection on the roles parents, educators, and society play in managing these influences.

​

Finally, Successful Teens  focuses on helping young people channel their potential to discover and develop their talents. We discuss the value of self-exploration, cultivating positive habits and attitudes, and the ripple effect this has on families and society. The book presents a methodology to help teens pursue their dreams and prepare for the effort, discipline, and sacrifice that journey demands. It also invites parents to reflect on their own evolution and learning process, encouraging a supportive and enriching family environment.

​

Don’t forget that the Complete Edition is also available. My hope is that these books serve as a valuable guide and a source of deep reflection on the role we play as parents and educators in the lives of our adolescents. There’s no instruction manual for parenthood—but it is our responsibility to seek out the knowledge and tools that can help us support our children through this critical phase.

​

I encourage you to keep learning, keep reflecting, and—above all—to keep loving and supporting your children with the patience and understanding this stage of life demands. Together, we can make a meaningful difference and help them grow into confident, responsible, and fulfilled adults.

​

I truly hope the stories, insights, and advice shared throughout these books help you improve intergenerational communication and build a more harmonious home environment. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this journey with you. Let’s keep working together—for the well-being and success of our adolescents.
