Parenting the new teen in the age of anxiety : a complete guide to your child's stressed, depressed, expanded, amazing adolescence / Dr. John Duffy.
Kids are growing up with nearly unlimited access to social media and the world wide web. Starting as early as eight years old, children are exposed to information, thought, and emotion that they are developmentally unprepared to process. As a result, saving the typical 'teen parenting' tactics for thirteen-year-olds is now years too late. Urgent advice for parents of teens: Dr. John Duffy's parenting book is a new and necessary guide because it addresses this hidden phenomenon of the changing teenage brain. Dr. Duffy, a nationally recognised expert in parenting for nearly twenty-five years, seeks to be a guide for parents raising children who are growing up quickly and, as a result, dealing with unresolved adolescent issues that can lead to anxiety and depression. Understand the unprecedented psychological suffering in our young people and why it is occurring: a shift has taken place in how and when children develop. Because of the exposure they face, kids are emotionally overwhelmed at a young age, and therefore are often continuing to search for a sense of self well into their twenties. However, Dr. Duffy also expresses the good that comes with these challenges, such as the sense of justice instilled in teenagers starting at a young age.
