The tenth anniversary edition of this national bestseller goes
beyond raging hormones and peer pressure to explain why adolescents
act the way they do and what parents and teachers can do about
it--and it's now thoroughly revised and updated to address the
issues facing kids today: social media, online bullying,
prescription drug abuse, stress, and nutrition.
"Why Do They Act That Way?" was the first book to explain the
scientific, brain-based reasons behind teens' impulsive behavior,
lack of focus, self-consciousness, territoriality, fatigue, and
their quickness to anger and take risks--to name just a few common
teen problems. All these behaviors are linked to physical changes
and growth in the adolescent brain. Ten years ago, there was no
Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat. Now every kid has a smartphone
and a Twitter account. Award-winning psychologist Dr. David Walsh
has now updated his 2004 classic with the most current research
into the adolescent brain, and he's also updated his guidance for
parents and teens on navigating the new challenges of the 24/7
online world.
With real-life stories and reassuring guidance, Walsh provides
realistic solutions for dealing with everyday and major challenges.
Sample dialogues help teens and parents talk civilly and
constructively with one another; behavioral contracts and Parental
Survival Kits provide practical advice for dealing with issues like
curfews, disrespectful language and actions, and bullying. As a
parent, psychologist, coach, and trusted expert, Dr. Walsh offers
the best advice to help adolescents thrive and parents survive.
