In this book, Austėja Landsbergienė, PhD, shares the practical wisdom, expertise, and insights she has gained over 25 years in the education system, as a mother of four teenagers, and as someone who continuously balances both her professional and parental roles.

This book addresses nearly a hundred relevant topics for parents and teachers of adolescents, enriched by authentic stories from Austėja’s personal experience raising her own children. As the author herself puts it, adolescence is a stage where the more you know, the more you realize how little you actually know. Therefore, the best approach is to surrender to the natural flow and embrace the process with love, patience and understanding, knowing that it is temporary, and that it marks the final leap before a child becomes a young adult.

The book is further enhanced with the thoughts of teenagers themselves on various topics that concern both parents and educators, as well as excerpts from Professor Vytautas Landsbergis’ conversations with his great-granddaughter Gertrūda about the unique aspects of adolescence across generations and even centuries.

Surviving Adolescence will be a helpful guide for both parents and teachers, answering some of the many questions that inevitably arise during this challenging time.

It will soothe. It will give hope. It will inspire.
