Whether in television or in society, the focus tends toward young girls coping with all of the emotional and physical burdens of pregnancy but rarely is the perspective of the teenage fathers portrayed. In this informative book, Mark S. Kiselica draws on his many years of counseling teenage fathers to offer a compassionate look at the difficult life circumstances and the complicated hardships these young men experience. He dispels many of the myths surrounding teenage fatherhood and shows that, contrary to popular belief, these young men are often emotionally and physically involved in relationships with their partner and their child. But without support and guidance from adults, these relationships often deteriorate in the first year of the child-'s life. Kiselica offers advice for how professionals and policy makers can assist these young men and improve services for them. When Boys Become Parents provides a moving portrait of teenage fathers to any reader who wants to understand and help these young men to become more competent and loving parents during their journey to adulthood. 606 $aTeenage fathers$xCounseling of$zUnited States 606 $aTeenage fathers$xServices for$zUnited States 606 $aTeenage fathers$zUnited States$vLife skills guides 606 $aUnmarried fathers$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTeenage fathers$xCounseling of 615 0$aTeenage fathers$xServices for 615 0$aTeenage fathers 615 0$aUnmarried fathers 676 $a306.874/2 700 $aKiselica$b Mark S$01036769 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454487303321 996 $aWhen boys become parents$92457285 997 $aUNINA
