Dr. James Dobson, a leading family psychologist and founder of Focus on the Family has written this excellent resource for parents, pre-teens, and teens. Preparing for Adolescence addresses physical, emotional, and social aspects of adolescence and approaching adulthood. This period of time can be uncertain and frightening for parents as well as for young people. The book prepares parents and their children to discuss even such sensitive areas as puberty and romantic love without embarrassment and with a Christian point of view.

Dr. Dobson’s concern for young people and parents, as well as his own parental insight, make this book easily readable, yet it faces the aspects of adolescence straight on in an honest thorough manner.    This book is an excellent resource for all youth, all who have children, or all who work with youth.
