Award-winning clinical psychologists Dr. Ma. Lourdes Arellano-Carandang and Dr. Queena N. Lee-Chua discuss the impact of these developments on parents, teens, and children, and suggest ways to coping with changes. Whether we are dealing with failing grades, household violence, or negative media portrayals, the bottom line is respect and self-worth. Parents need to respect each other, and treat their children with dignity. The family is the moral center of society, where values are learned, and role models, emulated. To rebuild our nation, we need to start taking care of the family. Parents, teachers, counselors today have a great responsibility-to develop their children's potential, to ensure that childrenbecome healthyemotionally, socially, and morally. This book equips everyone with the knowledge and tools to deal with transitions, trauma, and other stressors. Ahon, pamilyang Pinoy! ER -
