Just when we think the "two's" are terrible, a parent will argue that it doesn't hold a candle to a 15 year old in the middle of puberty. And with adolescence lasting longer than ever before, it's time to give this stage of life more attention.
To kick off Teen Week I want to introduce you to the best book I have read on the subject. If you have a teen, know a teen, will have a teen one day, or work with teens, you need to read "Age of Opportunity" by Laurence Steinberg.
The book, filled with years of research and findings, clearly explains how the adolescent brain works, which is a necessary place to start if we want to know how to parent them during those years. Steinberg explains that most of our understanding about adolescents are incorrect and gives us the truth about this time in life. By the time you are done, you will have a wonderful understanding of teenagers, how they work, why they do the things they do, and what you need to do to help them become successful adults. Not to mention what we should do in the heat of raising them when we don't think we can survive one more day.
There are solid reasons to be concerned about our adolescents.
- American adolescents continue to underperform teens from many industrialized countries that spend a lot less on schooling.
- The US once boasted one of the the world's highest college graduation rates. It now doesn't even make the top 10.
- One in 5 American high-school seniors abuses alcohol at least twice a month.
- Nearly one third of young women in the US will get pregnant at least once by age twenty. The US leads the industrialized world in teen pregnancies and STD's and ranks near the top in adolescent abortions.
- In 2011, nearly one-third of the women who gave birth had never been married.
- Twenty percent of all high-school-aged boys in American take prescription medication for ADHD
- Adolescent obesity is three times more common now than it was in the 1970's.
You will not only find solid research, but solutions.
As we head into Teen Week, here are a few understandings that you need to start with. Keep these as your foundation. The rest of the week will build on, and add to them. By the time we are done, you will have a game plan to use for your teenager.
First, adolescents is just as important as the early years in terms of the potential impact of experiences on the brain. A teenagers brain is plastic (Steinberg, 2014). It can be altered by experience. What happens during these crucial years will affect the rest of their lives.
Second, children are maturing earlier than ever before. As parents, we have to be prepared before they are.
Third, we want to be authoritative parents. Demonstrating a good mix of warmth, firmness, and support.
Forth, we can't love our children too much. There is no harm in telling them we love them EVERY day, in showing affection to them every day, in praising them every day.
Those four truths will be the foundation for all we do here during Teen Week. Get ready to take some notes so you can strengthen the relationship with your adolescent.
If you want to get your hands on the "Age of Opportunity" (and you do), you can find it on Amazon, IndieBound, and Barnes and Noble.

DeleteI have this nephew. He was born the day before my 18th birthday and we've always had this special relationship, he's just the sweetest, greatest kid. Seriously. This past weekend I spent at my sister's house with my kids for fall break, and this nephew, MY nephew, was such a jerk! I didn't think it was possible, he really is the greatest...but he's officially a teenager. He's 16 now and I was so bummed that he wasn't his usually sweet self. Teenagers are hard. I'll be reading. :)
ReplyDeleteMy son turns 13 in January ... sounds like I need to pick this book up asap!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a part of the tour.

ReplyDeletethis is an interesting topic, the training of adolescents is very important for the future of the country, because these are the people who will later build it
ReplyDeletegreat article. I totally agree. Everyone thinks that being a teenager is cool and they have no problems. Although adolescence is, to my mind, the most difficult one. Now teenagers get a lot of tasks at school, playing sports and hobbies and also have certain personal experiences. Therefore, many now are in a state of decontamination.
ReplyDeleteI think that teenagers need to help, at least in education. You do not need to put pressure on the child, if he/she do not want to write an essay or do a job, you can buy essay cheap online from good service. And thus give a kind of time for their own business and rest. I do not call it to do it all the time, but sometimes in case of exception it is even useful.

ReplyDeleteHello, my name is RITA CARMEN and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 12 years. i have been looking for ways online for so long, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, but there was no way from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until my Doctors in Australia told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I resulted to try IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). For months after my IVF no progressed and my situation became worse that my husband had already had plans or getting married to another woman because I was barren. I read a testimony about Prophet Abulele how he had helped so many women with pregnancy problems and also how he usually casts return spells to bring back partner and make one fertile. Of all options tried, I gave Prophet Abulele a try. I am now a mother of a baby boy. For over 13 years of my marriage I received my help from this spell caster. I want to impact on someone's life and make the person get help from a good spell caster. Prophet Abulele's email is:- prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp is +2349022406159 once you contact him, he will help you fast.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay.
