Family & Relationships. Psychology. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:An urgently needed guide to help parents understand their teenagers�?? intense and often fraught emotional lives�??and how to support them through this critical developmental stage�??from the New York Times bestselling author of Untangled and Under Pressure
In teenagers, powerful emotions come with the territory. And with so many of today�??s teens contending with academic pressure, social media stress, worries about the future, and concerns about their own mental health, it�??s easy for them�??and their parents�??to feel anxious and overwhelmed. But it doesn�??t have to be that way.
Parents who read this book will learn:
�?� what to expect in the normal course of adolescent emotional development and when it�??s time to worry
�?� why teens (and adults) need to understand that mental health isn�??t about �??feeling good�?� but about having feelings that fit the moment, even if those feelings are unwanted or painful
�?� strategies for supporting teens who feel at the mercy of their emotions so they can become psychologically aware and skilled at managing their feelings
�?� how to approach common challenges that come with adolescence, such as friction at home, spiking anxiety, risky behavior, navigating friendships and romances, the pull of social media, and many more
�?� the best ways to stay connected to their teens and how to provide the kind of relationship that adolescents need and want
With clear, research-informed explanations alongside illuminating, real-life examples, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers gives parents the concrete, practical information they need to steady their teens through the bumpy yet transformational journey into adulthood.
