Jugendliche begleiten

Puberty is a time of major upheaval for any adolescent. It is also a challenge to both the youths and the adults in their lives, such as parents and teachers. Adolescents need a well-prepared, open-minded atmosphere in order to develop value-oriented communication. They long to test limits, sometimes proceeding a step behind their peers, sometimes pressing ahead in large bounds. They want to discover the relationship between their own effectiveness and the energy invested in such efforts. In this volume Joachim Armbrust shows what one has to know about puberty in order to accompany and supervise adolescents as understanding companions at their side – as attentive persons who offer guidance but do not press it upon others.
