  • If you have a teen or pre-teen, you recognize the phenomenon already-perhaps without even knowing it has a name. The second family, as uncompromisingly described by renowned therapist Dr. Ron Taffel is the immense collective power of the peer group and pop culture-a force so pervasive, it threatens to, and often succeeds in, overwhelming the first family of adults at home and in school. Derived from thousands of interviews with kids and adults, The Second Family uses real-life, sometimes graphic examples to bare the truth about the world of adolescence today and to illuminate the new set of rules by which kids operate. The second family can be scary to adults. While many parents bury their heads, insisting not my child, Taffel reveals that even good children:- Chronically lie without a trace of guilt - Have sex at astonishingly early ages- Do drugs and alcohol not to be bad but simply because they are thereYet there are healthy aspects to the second family that often go unrecognized:- A secret moral code of peer support that will surprise you- Boys and girls as best friends- Boys taking care of friends in emotional need- Girls becoming powerful group leaders- A social structure for teens that provides a type of intimacy, support, communication and honesty he or she can't find anywhere else. It is impossible to understand today's teens or preteens without understanding the Second Family. Taffel opens a window into a closed world of frightening dangers and equally uplifting possibilities.
