In today's rapidly changing world and challenging economy, young
adults increasingly find themselves at a crossroads between
dependence and autonomy, financially and emotionally entangled with
their parents, sometimes even after having completed college. A
host of new pressures seems to be delaying young adults' ability to
assume the responsibilities of adulthood, diminishing their
self-confidence and escalating the level of family conflict. In
this wise and practical guide, distinguished psychologist Dr. Brad
Sachs teaches parents how to play a vital and effective role in
promoting their young adult's developmental progress by helping
them to: *Understand the family dynamics that either impede or
nurture self-sufficiency *Foster a higher degree of academic,
professional, and fiscal responsibility *Effectively encourage
young adults to establish realistic goals and create a meaningful
vision for their future *Learn how to gradually let go so that
young adults discover how to resolve their own problems. Drawing on
Dr. Sachs's extensive clinical experience and his illuminatng and
thought-provoking discussion of the latest psychological research,
Emptying the Nest will support parents in their efforts to
cultivate their young adult's success and self-reliance while
simultaneously maintaining healthy family relationships during a
stressful time for both generations.
Respected psychologist Dr. Brad Sachs helps parents to recognize
their unrealistic expectations for their teenagers and to love,
accept and nurture the family they have to its full potential. His
approach frees them to discover acceptance of themselves and of
their children. The ages twelve to eighteen are often the most
challenging and trying years for adolescents--and their parents. No
other phase of life is characterized by so much physical and
psychological change happening so quickly. And frequently the child
parents had loved and understood becomes a teenager they hardly
recognize--the child who loved music grows into a teen who wants to
play video games rather than the piano; or the little girl who
loved dolls becomes a teen who loves staying out with her older,
rebellious boyfriend. The Good Enough Teen, however, shows you how
to see your child's evolution as a window of opportunity--for you,
for your child, and for your entire family. Rather than having you
brace for your offspring's adolescence with your eyes shut and your
jaw clenched, this book will help you to understand the invisible
transformation teens are experiencing, as well as the ways in which
your own adolescence intimately influences this understanding. You
will find yourself better able to see even your child's most
exasperating behaviours as steps in his or her striving towards
maturity, rather than chronic problems or mean-spirited efforts
designed to make you miserable. The Good Enough Teen presents a
developmental overview of what parents can expect from their
children during adolescence, then delineates the five stages in the
journey towards accepting a child for who he or she is. With
prescriptive tools and strategies for parents, including
checklists, quizzes, and exercises, and numerous case studies from
the author's own practice, The Good Enough Teen is vital help for
any parent with a teenager.
Determined to connect with a withdrawn patient named Amanda, Dr.
Sachs tried something unconventional: he wrote letters to Amanda
and invited her to write back, thinking she might feel more
comfortable opening up in this way--and indeed she did. In this
work, Dr. Sachs offers adults an inspiring image of a truly open,
human-to-human relationship between an adult and a teenager.
