Helps parents manage the stresses of adolescent achievement culture
and to make decisions which align with their values, rather than
their anxiety. WHEN WORRY WORKS responds to one of the primary
sources of the nation's worsening adolescent mental health crisis -
achievement pressure. Burdened by the mounting pressures on today's
youth, parents seek ways to strike the balance between supporting
their teens' current well-being while also setting them up for
future success. Eager to take action and to manage their escalating
fears, parents inadvertently and unknowingly exacerbate the problem
by overlooking their own parental achievement anxiety. Based on
thirty years of clinical practice and her experiences raising her
own teenagers in New York City, the work demonstrates that when
parents become aware of their individual anxieties and learn to
effectively manage them, they are empowered to make values aligned,
rather than worry driven parenting decisions. Dr. Dorfman provides
practical evidence-based parenting strategies, exercises, and
reflective prompts to guide parents through a process to
constructively apply to their day-to-day parenting decisions.
In this fast-changing world how do we, as parents and caregivers,
keep on the same page as our teens? The challenges and experiences
they face can seem a million miles away from our own adolescence.
It can feel overwhelming and hard to keep the communication
channels open. At the same time, it's vital that we have the tools
to talk openly and confidently with our teens. The Kids Will Be All
Right provides up-to-date, evidence-based information, insights,
conversation starters and resources to help you navigate and
untangle hot topics such as friendships and frenemies; bullying;
cyber safety; drinking, vaping and risk-taking behaviour;
self-esteem and body image; sexuality; consent and safe
relationships; and pornography. Co-written by Robyn - a nurse and
educator who provides education programmes throughout schools and
communities in New Zealand on health and wellbeing, including body
image, cyber safety, sexuality, puberty and respectful
relationships - and her daughter Molly, who weaves her perspective
throughout, The Kids Will Be All Right is an insightful, accessible
and empathetic guide that empowers parents and caregivers to relate
to and communicate effectively with their teen.

Dr. William Glasser -- a world-renowned psychiatrist who has healed shattered families and changed lives with his advice -- urges parents and teachers to reject the "common sense" that tells them to "lay down the law" by grounding teens, or to try to coerce teens into changing their behavior. These strategies have never worked, asserts Dr. Glasser, and never will. Instead he offers a different approach, one based upon Choice Theory. Dr. Glasser spells out the seven deadly habits parents practice, and then shows them how to accomplish goals by changing their own behavior. Most important, however, is the groundbreaking method that all parents and teachers can use with confidence to maintain strong and loving relationships with today's teenagers.

Smart, glasses wearing, shirt tucked in dorks?" Erin said.
"Collin doesn't wear glasses," Reba whispered. Did Collin really
get teased a lot? Not that she cared of course. But she couldn't
help feeling like she should do something about it.
"Duh! Don't you see him wearing those ugly thick glasses whenever
he reads?" Erin pointed out.
"Oh, I guess not," Reba shrugged.
"Ya, and Cole is sticking up for them? How weird is that?" Erin
asked.
"Very," Reba answered.
"Okay, bye!" Erin said, giving Reba a quick hug and then skipping
away.
