ESCAPING THE ENDLESS ADOLESCENCE: HOW WE CAN HELP OUR TEENAGERS GROW UP BEFORE THEY GROW OLD

Book ID/图书代码： 01240008B27795

English Summary/英文概要： This is an amazing book by two preeminent researchers and clinicians, an incisive and startling look at the "nurture paradox" -- the mental health ramifications of coddling and overprotecting our teens -- as well as practical and profound suggestions for ways to help them grow up before they grow old. Based on new research on what it takes to "launch" into adulthood successfully, ESCAPING THE ENDLESS ADOLESCENCE gives unexpected guidance for parents on how much they should do for their teenagers, and how involved they should be in their lives.
Studies show that teenagers today have problems that go beyond garden-variety rebelliousness: they are more anxious, less motivated, and more aggressive than generations before. They are also "launching" into their adult lives more slowly than ever before. In our homes, parents know this to be true: long after they should have moved beyond their petulant attitudes, twenty-somethings are grumpily moving back in with their parents or reliant on them for money. Employers witness the other end of this trend: young workers are reluctant to "put in their time" and grow impatient with positions they feel entitled to bypass.
Drawing on their renowned and extensive research, preeminent clinical psychologists Joe and Claudia Allen persuasively show that these behavior problems are directly related to what they term a "nurture paradox:" in the name of protection, we keep teenagers separate from the adult world; to build and preserve their precious self-esteem, we deny them the chance to grow through honest feedback and brushes with failure.
