Introduction

Many parents feel confident in their abilities while their children are young, just to wonder how they missed it all when their children reach adolescence.

And who are these strangers who live in the body of their teenagers and what did they do with the offspring that we know?

Parenting is no longer the same as before. Fewer families include a parent who stays at home. Economically, most families need both parents to be employed.

More and more women are single parents, and also men are not left out. The children, who are now adolescents, were in a daycare center or were looked after by people other than their parents.

We cannot focus only on ending behaviors or on our own well-being. There is nothing stupid and helpless than feeling when
