Showing titles in Adolescent Psychology

From two leading child and adolescent mental health experts comes a guide for the parents of every college and college-bound student who want to know what’s normal mental health and behavior, what’s not, and how to intervene before it’s too late. All parenting is in preparation for letting go. However, the paradox of parenting is that the more we learn about late adolescent development and risk, the more frightened we become for our children, and the more we want to stay involved in their lives.

We are bombarded every day by reports of bad behaviour: from sexual harassment to political corruption, from bullying to corporate greed. We believe these things are wrong or even evil, but in practice few of us choose to intercede. Why We Act draws on the latest developments in psychology and neuroscience to explain why we act differently in groups than when we are alone, how slippery slopes begin and prosper and where the dissonance lies between good intentions and real action.

You've spent the first twelve years of your child's life guiding, disciplining, and playing, only to transition into the teenage years where you feel like none of this mattered. It does matter!

Trying to understand your teen's logic, choices, and actions is more than a full-time job; it is a commitment to chaos and hoping you come out alive when it is all over.

Prendetevi la luna non è un consiglio, ma una suggestione. Non vale solo nei momenti difficili, ma anche in quelli di gioia, o quando si tende più alla rassegnazione che all'esaltazione. La luna è lì apposta, scompare e ricompare proprio perché se ci fosse sempre sarebbe banale. Funziona come il desiderio, che implica il cercar le stelle proprio quando non ci sono o si teme siano nascoste da qualche parte dell'universo. Oggi più che mai siamo catturati dal presente e ce lo siamo fatti bastare, forse atterriti per ciò che potrebbe essere alle porte o per sazietà di quanto possediamo.
