About this ebook
Suddenly, someone who needed you for everything starts to pull away. The big step of adolescence has arrived. The first years of high school, the first sexual experiences, alcohol, drugs, cyberbullying.
Our daughters and sons are going to have to face a world that is constantly changing as they prepare to become well-rounded individuals.
You are going to be the light that will guide them through this difficult and decisive stage, but you have to be prepared. There is always a better way to solve problems.
Joan Pont lives on the island of Mallorca. A former bodyguard for military authorities and a stockbroker, he now devotes himself exclusively to literature.

1- PREPARING BEFORE THE BIG CRISIS (Am I good for this?)
Human beings, despite the fact that our brains have been evolving by trial and error since the end of the Triassic, two hundred million years ago, achieving quite acceptable results, we still belong to the genus Mammalia, so, like all other mammals on our planet, we are genetically predetermined to take care of our offspring.
And we do it very well.
We raise healthy and well-fed babies, we take them to the doctor when they are sick and to school so that they receive a good education and become people capable of facing life with enough resources, without expecting anything in return...
Wait a minute, is it true that we don't expect anything in return? Yes, genetics predisposes us to give everything for our children, even our lives, but we are fascinated that this little person needs us, walks beside us and does almost everything we ask. We have become mothers and fathers.
So far so good, we strive to the limit of our strength to turn these children into responsible adults, who make their own decisions and are able to find a place in the complicated world that awaits them.
The problem is that, immersed in the frenetic pace of today's society, childhood lasts less and less.
Our eleven to fourteen year old daughters and sons are hyper-connected from their earliest years, so they don't have to discover the world, but the world comes to them. From the refuge of their bedroom they can talk to their friends, see their musical or sports idols on social media and (yes, that too!) discover a sexuality far removed from reality.
When they leave their bedrooms they know almost everything and, if they have questions, they look to TikTok for answers.
Often we mothers and fathers witness this evolution with a sense of helplessness, because our daughters and sons go so fast that we don't have enough strength to keep up with them. We find the TikTok videos that they think are wonderful boring and meaningless, and we don't understand the new language they use, but at the same time we communicate with them with an ease that our own mothers and fathers never offered us.
ADOLESCENCE SEEMS CHAOTIC, BUT IT IS NOT, IT HAS ITS OWN RULES.
The same thing happened to us, mothers and fathers, only more slowly. Our own parents were puzzled with us and often,
