From texting and social networking sites to after-school
activities, young people have many opportunities to interact with
one another, and yet loneliness and isolation trouble today's youth
in increasing numbers. Many children and teens report feeling
lonely even in the midst of family and friends, and childhood
loneliness is a prime risk factor for adult alienation. Lonely
Children and Adolescents: Self-Perceptions, Social Exclusion, and
Hope illuminates seldom-explored experiences of social isolation
among young people as well as the frustrations of the parents and
teachers who wish to help. This groundbreaking book conceptualizes
loneliness not simply as the absence of social connections, but as
a continuum of developmental experience, often growing out of the
conflict between opposite needs: to be like one's peers yet be
one's unique self. The author draws clear distinctions between
loneliness and solitude and identifies genetic and environmental
characteristics (i.e., social, psychological, familial, and
educational) that can be reinforced to help children become more
resilient and less isolated. In addition, therapeutic approaches
are described that challenge loneliness by encouraging empowerment,
resilience, and hope, from proven strategies to promising
tech-based interventions. Highlights include: * Developmental
perspectives on loneliness. * Schools and the role of teachers,
from preschool to high school. * Peer relations (e.g., cliques,
bullies, exclusion, and popularity). * Lonely children, lonely
parents: models of coping. * Loneliness in the virtual world. *
Prevention and intervention strategies at home, at school, in
therapy. Asking its readers to rethink many of their assumptions
about social competence and isolation, this volume is essential
reading for researchers and professionals in clinical child,
school, developmental, and educational psychology; allied education
disciplines; social work; and social and personality psychology.
