This book examines current topics concerning adolescents around the
world. With its international scope, researchers from six nations
contribute to our understanding of adolescent issues and programs
in Australia, Canada, Italy, Northern Ireland, Scotland and the
United States. While youth studies has been an active field since
the better part of the last century, as most youth researchers and
program and policy facilitators would agree, the lives of young
people have been continuously and rapidly changing over the past
few decades. Adolescent Behaviour addresses current issues that
young people in today's world face. The book is divided into five
sections: Indicators of Youth Well-Being, Risky Behaviour, Gang
Behaviour, Youth Perceptions and Program Assessment of youth
programs.
"Why do you always have to be at me about stuff when I'm in the
middle of doing something?"
"You don't have to yell at me Everything has to be exactly when
you want it I hate this house "
Is there any aspect of parenting more frustrating than when even
the simplest conversation with your teenager quickly deteriorates
into a take-no-prisoners war? Bestselling author Anthony E. Wolf
sympathizes, and in his new book he provides hope, humor, and
practical tips for dealing with the everyday challenges of raising
teens in the twenty-first century.
I'd Listen to My Parents if They'd Just Shut Up will help you
understand who your teenagers really are under all the attitude,
and what new rules apply to successfully communicating with them in
today's constantly evolving world of the Internet, electronics, and
social media. A book designed to make life with your teenage child
a significantly more enjoyable experience, I'd Listen to My Parents
if They'd Just Shut Up offers specific scenarios to illustrate
which responses will work and which ones are doomed to failure the
next time your thirteen-to-nineteen-year-old refuses to listen or
won't take "no" for an answer.
