Almost half a million teens give birth each year, and only one in five is married. The majority of these young parents continue living with their parents after their child is born. Written for both young parents and their parents, this book helps to guide families through the maze of early pregnancy and parenthood, making the experience positive not only for the newborn child, but for the young parents as well. Insight is provided through interviews with the grandparents who have been there and with teen fathers who discuss their feelings and suggest strategies for improving their relationship with the young mother"s parents. Issues such as child-proofing the house, providing for the child, feeding and cleaning up after the baby, and disciplining the child are all thoroughly discussed.
