Book Negotiating Parent Adolescent Conflict

Download or read book Negotiating Parent Adolescent Conflict written by Arthur L. Robin and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2002-12-18 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent-adolescent discord is often handled from a unitary perspective, whether the focus is on enhancing parenting skills, resolving conflicts in family relationships, or working to improve the behavior of the individual child. This important work shows the clinician how to incorporate all of these crucial elements into a single, research-based treatment program. Presented is the authors' influential integration of cognitive-behavioral constructs and family systems theory, grounded in consideration of adolescent developmental concerns. The book describes effective ways to conceptualize and assess the problems of embattled parents and teens; use assessment data in treatment planning; overcome resistance and other therapeutic hurdles; and implement carefully sequenced skills training, cognitive restructuring, and functional/structural interventions. The theoretical and empirical bases of the treatment approach are also discussed in depth.

Book Conflict Promoting Conflict

Download or read book Conflict Promoting Conflict written by Alexis Marsh and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study asks the question: Are there differences among how adolescents perceive discussions about the civil conflict of Northern Ireland with their families depending on their parents’ behaviors and communication styles? Using parent behavior measures and participant perceptions of conversations regarding the social conflict of Northern Ireland, the current study aims to bridge the relationship between Baumrind’s parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive) and the Family Communication Patterns Theory discussion styles. Collected through convenience sampling methods from various universities and churches in Northern Ireland, 103 individuals (27 male and 76 female) between the ages of 15 and 25 (M = 19.61, SD = 1.68) participated. Based on reported behaviors as they relate to descriptions from the development and communication theories, each participant was placed into an associated parenting practice category. Responses to the researcher-created Perception of Political/Social Conflict Questionnaire were analyzed in relation to each parenting practice category. Results specific to mother-adolescent outcomes show that 59% fell within the authoritative parenting practice category, followed by “other” (23%), authoritarian (11%), and permissive (7%). Discussions about civil conflict did change slightly as a function of the parenting practice category. Suggestions for future theory development within family dynamics are discussed..

Book Communication Workshop for Parents of Adolescents

Download or read book Communication Workshop for Parents of Adolescents written by Jane E. Brownstone and published by Research Press (IL). This book was released on 1973 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook describes the tasks, materials, rationale, and procedures for conducting a five-session Communication Workshop for Parents of Adolescents. It is designed for a variety of professionals, including psychologists, social workers, ministers, school counselors and others whose work with families has alerted them to the acute need for more effective communication between parents and their children. It includes a separate Parent's Review. This program was initially developed for parents whose adolescents were psychiatric patients. These parents were primarily from middle class social status, with adolescent children ranging in age from 13 to 16. Behavior problems (e.g. drugs, running away) were the predominant complaint, but some of the adolescents were also showing signs of serious depression, anxiety, and, in a few cases, psychosis. However, the content and format of the Communication Workshop have proven to be relevant not only in clinical settings, but for non-patient populations in the community-at-large as well. In establishing the Communication Workshop, applicable goals for the workshop were: (1) to give parents specific information on how to communicate more effectively, (2) to help parents begin analyzing their families' communication patterns, (3) to help parents identify their own style of communicating with their children, and (4) to start parents in practicing alternative methods where it seems warranted. -- Author.

Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
