This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The developmental stage of adolescence is a difficult time for young people, particularly girls. Research shows that girls often struggle during this period with low self-esteem, a lack of confidence, depression, and poor body image. Outdoor adventure programming has several positive outcomes, including providing adolescent girls with authentic experiences that allow them to challenge themselves, build connections with others, and develop life tools to overpower the negative societal influences of genders stereotypes and unrealistic pressures. Numerous studies confirm these outcomes. However, most of these studies looked at programs that lasted a few days to several weeks. Due to the importance of improving adolescent development for girls, this study examined the impacts of long-term exposure to outdoor adventure programming for adolescent girls. The injury employs a qualitative analysis to share the stories of 8th-grade students at the French Broad River Academy for girls. This private middle school utilizes outdoor education regularly. Students reflected on what outdoor adventure programming meant to them during their 2.5 years at the school. They did this over a semester by taking pictures of their outdoor experiences on disposable cameras. At the conclusion of the semester, students used photo-elicitation to share their experiences by using their photos to share their stories in focus group interviews. Emergent themes from the focus groups included: Relationship & Community, Perseverance & Resiliency, Enjoyment & Finding Beauty in Nature, Leadership & Confidence, and Individual Growth.

Download or read book Adolescent Volcanoes written by Warwick Pudney and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some adolescents seem to act as if they have a volcano inside -- always on the verge of erupting into anger. They often generate discord and have combative relationships with parents, care givers and other adults who work with them. Adolescent Volcanoes is a practical resource for adults working with adolescents and their parents to help them understand, express and manage their anger. Featuring interactive worksheets and handouts throughout, it explores the causes of anger, focusing not only on the adolescent, but also on styles of parenting and situations at home that can exacerbate these feelings, and suggests ways to tone down confrontations and improve relationships. It describes models that explain the dynamics of arguments, such as 'power analysis' and 'positive intentions'. It also explains anger management tools such as 'escalators', 'time out', 'emotional awareness', 'triggers' and the 'four-part phrase'. By improving emotional management and communication, this resource will help adolescents to understand how to reduce attacking behaviour and turn their anger into something positive. Adolescent Volcanoes can be used as the basis of counselling sessions and incident management. It will be invaluable for counsellors, teachers, youth workers and social workers who work with adolescents.

Download or read book Fathers and Adolescents written by Shmuel Shulman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding and study of fathers has traditionally assumed that fathers, compared to mothers, are less involved with their children. Originally published in 1997 Fathers and Adolescents presents a different approach that focuses on the distinctive role of fathers in the lives of their adolescents, especially in their role in adolescents’ attainment of developmental tasks. Drawing on a variety of disciplines, the authors’ examine the relationships of fathers to their adolescents in the context of a changing society. They find that fathers interact in ways that are different from those of mothers, but that are important for both normal and disturbed adolescent development. Psychopathological, aggressive and incestuous behaviour is considered as well as the role of the father in more ideal circumstances. Drawing on the authors’ wealth of clinical experience, this title will still be an important resource for all professionals working with adolescents, as well as those in research.

Download or read book The Parents and Educators Manual of Teenage Rebirth written by Bruce G. Bentley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence marks a special and unique stage in human growth and development, but it can be an extremely challenging time for both parents and teenagers. In The Parents' and Educators' Manual of Teenage "Rebirth," author Bruce G. Bentley provides an understanding of how teenagers think, feel, and experience themselves in relation to others and the world with the goal of assisting them in their battle to master adolescence. To help those caring for teens gain a greater understanding of child and adolescent psychology, Bentley applies principles of those disciplines, along with psychologically pertinent literature, to real-life stories of puberty, bullying, aggressive behavior, abuse, and suicide. This manual provides parents and educators with effective tools to understand, inform, challenge, and guide teens through adolescence so they can develop an independent and strengthened adulthood. It also offers teens a descriptive road map of what they can expect and what they can do to help ease anxieties and fears as they encounter life's uncertainties; it helps them to be better prepared for the changes or "rebirths" into new realms of relationships and responsibilities. The Parents' and Educators' Manual of Teenage "Rebirth" aims to ease the journey through the dark, mysterious, and wonderful world of adolescence- with its joys and struggles-and beyond.

Download or read book Recreation as a Developmental Experience Theory Practice Research written by Lawrence R. Allen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's not all "fun and games." A growing body of research suggests that recreation activities can be powerful development contexts when they are properly framed and intentionally designed. This volume highlights much of that research, and the articles that follow provide ample evidence that well-framed recreation activities and contexts can provide a range of positive developmental outcomes. Editors Lawrence R. Allen and Robert J. Barcelona draw on their own work in human and youth development and have assembled contributing authors who explore the important of meaningful recreation and leisure experiences in the lives of youth and the value of recreation from a developmental perspective. Chapters focus on the developmental potential of specific recreation contexts and settings and provide research and evidence-based strategies outlining the activities that best promote positive youth development. Finally, the volume demonstrates how recreation is being used to strengthen individual and community assets and its role as a contributor in addressing pressing social issues. This is the 130th volume of New Directions for Youth Development, the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series dedicated to bringing together everyone concerned with helping young people, including scholars, practitioners, and people from different disciplines and professions. The result is a unique resource presenting thoughtful, multi-faceted approaches to helping our youth develop into responsible, stable, well-rounded citizens.
