This book was released on 2022-12-17 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation built in the early years of parenting helps with the inevitable changes and challenges of the teen years. Teenagers change more on the way to young adulthood than at any time since age two. As they change on the outside, even more is happening on the inside. As teens engage in the important tasks of adolescence, parents enter a new stage as well. Parents still lead, guide, support, and discipline, but adolescence requires a different perspective. One that acknowledges the inevitability of young adulthood. The path from the dependence of childhood to independence is long and hard for teens. While they grow more independent, they still need you to be there like in the early years. It just looks different. In a webbed world of step-by-step formulas, and plans that promise "easy,” the bare truth is that parenting is hard. There are no formulas or secrets, and nothing is easy. Searching for answers on the internet may provide helpful “tips” for one family, but the same ideas may be way off base for another. So rather than a list of strategies, stock answers, and suggestions of “what to do,” this book offers another way to approach the complex challenge of raising teens. A process to draw on time and again through each new change and challenge. The Teen Years: 8 Questions Every Parent Should Ask provides a powerful way to get to the heart of the matter before you. Short and concise, this book provides you with important information on development and guides you beneath the surface of quick fixes to solid ground and deep meaning. Each chapter empowers you to ask the most important and illuminating questions that connect the past, present, and future in family life. As a benefit of working through these questions, you will have a source you can refer back to in the years to come. While each teen is unique and on their own journey, this book will help you access the deepest and most important qualities of parenting and your developing teen. As you engage the questions and delve into the answers you envision, you create the conditions for bringing out the highest and best in your teen—and you.

This book was released on 2022-12-17 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every child is unique. So is every family. And parenting is a most demanding and important life role. So how does a parent find their way while walking a path that will certainly change the moment you feel you're starting to figure "it" out? Stock answers and internet searches can lead you astray for what works for one family may not work for you. And to parent fairly is to parent each child differently. But in the years when children are dependent and need you most, there are important fundamentals and principles of development parents can rely on. 8 Questions Every Parent Should Ask offers a unique format to empower parents to clarify the importance of their role through the lens of crucial developmental principles. Why questions? Because rules, statements, and advice are limited in scope. They are often one size fits all. But questions enlist your creativity and reach the depths of what matters most. Questions lead you to the answers that work for you and are specific to you and your family right now. Because they apply to you and your situation, you can ask these same questions every step of the way through the years. Importantly, these 8 Questions will lead you to the answers that matter most to you. Each chapter of 8 Questions Every Parent Should Ask provides key fundamentals of parenting and development. Each question guides you below the surface of quick fixes to a sturdy foundation to build upon. You may notice that these questions will feel like something you have had in the back of your mind. Something you’ve wondered about when you consider the responsibility of effectively raising children. Answering these questions will feel like the conversation you wanted to have but possibly didn’t know how. As you dig into these questions, you quickly go to the heart of an important matter in parenting. Trust the process and over time you will find yourself better able to find what works for you and your child in this stage... and the next. Not only will you discover the "how" in your parenting, but you will uncover the deepest "why" in your heart. When you know "how" and "why" then "what to do" flows from warm responsiveness and strong support. With the answers before you, the reasons why parenting matters become clearer. From inside-out, you find how parenting influences beyond parent and child, beyond family. You discover the connection between the answers you create and how they influence each generation. And the future.

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.
Download or read book To Change a Mind written by John A. McKinnon and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this companion to his first book, An Unchanged Mind, Dr. McKinnon provides invaluable advice to all parents of teenagers and young adults. Using case studies gathered from his years helping parents with troubled adolescents, the author explores the ways that adolescent development can be derailed in today's complex culture and how parents can prevent this from happening in the first place. Dr. McKinnon writes about how parents need to recognize their children as individuals, with their own feelings and opinions, as they start to establish their separate identities as young people and begin to negotiate their way through high school and beyond. He also makes clear that parents must continue to establish limits. These allow children to flourish and further their goals within boundaries that enable them to learn the consequences of their actions (both good and bad), thus providing a fundamental lesson of being an adult. The book explains that parental recognition and limit-setting work together to promote maturity. Packed with examples and sensible and practical advice for parents of pre-teens and teenagers, To Change a Mind is an essential guidebook for parents seeking to make their lives--and the lives of their children--richer and more fulfilling, as the family navigates together the potentially treacherous seas of adolescence.

Perhaps nowhere does this impact our lives more profoundly than when we think about raising children--especially teenagers. Where parents often see a sweet boy or girl who has morphed into an incomprehensible bundle of hormones and angst, what we really ought to be seeing is an amazing young adult whose brain is under heavy construction. And changing the way we see our teens will revolutionize our relationships with them. Organized by what we hear teens say--things like I'm bored, You just don't understand, Why are you freaking out?, I hate my life!, or Hold on . . . I just have to send this--this book helps parents develop compassion for their teens and discernment in parenting them as their brains are progressively remodeled. Rather than seeing the teen years as a time to simply hold on for dear life, Dr. Jeramy and Jerusha Clark show that they can be an amazing season of cultivating creativity, self-awareness, and passion for the things that really matter.
