The New Adolescence is a realistic and reassuring handbook for parents. It offers road-tested, science-based solutions for raising happy, healthy, and successful teenagers. You’ll find practical guidance for:
- Providing the support and structure teens need (while still giving them the autonomy they seek)
- Influencing and motivating teenagers
- Helping kids overcome distractions that hinder learning
- Protecting them from anxiety, isolation, and depression
- Having effective conversations about tough subjects–including sex, drugs, and money
A highly acclaimed sociologist and senior fellow at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, Dr. Christine Carter melds research–including the latest findings in neuroscience, sociology, and social psychology–with her own real-world experiences as the mother of four teenagers.
