Teenagers today are more stressed than they ever were earlier. And even though one likes to believe that they are brimming with thoughts and ideas, they have it all so easy and do not have any problems in life, the case may be quite the contrary. Modern parents have become liberal and understanding in outlook as compared to those of yesteryears. But parenting is becoming more and more challenging as we are marching into technological modernisation and the lines between reality and virtuality are blending. Added to it is the stress of being a working parent. It is only a tooth fairy tale to assume that we have been able to bridge the generation gap due to being liberal in our outlook. Let's face the truth - the gap has increased manifold and at a mind boggling rate. With technological advanced gen z, even the most modern, well educated and advanced parents are at their wits end when it comes to handling their 'bundles of joy.' Yet, despite the leap in time, many of us apply age old parenting techniques. We may not be completely aware of the impact that this immense exposure to augmented reality has had on our children. A lot of us wish that there were schools that showed us the way for parenting this new harvest of youngsters. But even after the self exhausting exercise of trying to do the best for them, we feel as if we are falling short of our own expectations. As the youngster unfolds into becoming a teenager, the parent and progeny divide seems to widen. Strifes, disagreements, altercations become ingrained in day to day lives. For the youngsters, the difficulty level of leading life becomes higher. They are struggling with hormonal and biological changes impacting their body, mind and emotions. Running parallel to that are academic pressures, high expectations, peer pressure, unlimited exposure to media and networking. Also new in their life could be addictions and romance. They are not experienced to handle any of these things and often experience stress, anxiety, anger and depression. Those stresses could due to petty and menial causes but become huge because of the lack of understanding and negligence by people around them. Sometimes, the solution is as simple as assuring, "Go on, I'm listening…" I have no intention to preach or to be judgmental. All these are merely my observations with bonafide intentions. I reiterate my belief that solutions to complex problems can be found in a simple way if they are nipped in the bud. Sometimes, all that a teen needs is a patient ear, understanding and attention, definitely not an overdose of the same. It would be great to have a clarity regarding what one may do and what one can't. It is unreal to think that the talked about issues do not exist. And if they do, they cannot affect your child. Rather, accept that your progeny exists in this world that is replete with various issues. Educate the youngsters about them. Build their confidence so that they can trust you. Establish clear cut rules and parameters for things like driving, dating, drug and alcohol use. If an adult discusses and talks about these issues in a friendly way, teenagers don't feel rebellious. Most of the teenagers are chilled out and will understand if parents don’t always have all the answers, and if you acknowledge that you might not always be right. You must always listen to their opinions and offer help whenever needed. Punishing teenagers does not really work as well as talking to them or disciplining them does. A parent must also be willing to listen to their point of view and give it a thought before discarding it. An encouraging and supporting attitude goes a long way. Maybe, this support prevents them from getting lured by alcohol and drugs which can damage a teenager's developing brain. Just talking to them, expressing enthusiasm about what is happening in school, educating them about the dangers might be sufficient. If they seem to be slipping into anxiety or depression, it is important to let them know that you care! Don't always discard it as pampering. The solution always lies in balancing out. I don't claim to be offering solutions but have penned down possibilities for a better bonhomie between generations. I have also tried to do justice to delivering an unbiased narration of those who have trusted me, believed in me and shared their personal experiences with me. I hope that these real life narratives will give my readers an insight into tackling their own issues in a more judicious manner. We often hear distressed parents shaking their heads in disdain at their inability to put forth their point of view to their adolescent. Through this book, I have tried to bring the other side of the story, by narrating first hand experiences of some teenagers. I have also added some of my own heart touching experiences as a teacher. Subtly underlying are some messages that I would like to give to the youngsters, who should never underestimate the wisdom of the elders. I have also shared my opinions on what parents might do in difficult situations. This is my attempt to reduce the gap between generations.

You'll also find tips for interpreting their responses and follow-up questions. From light-hearted to more serious, these conversation springboards will encourage even the most reluctant teen to talk about friends, school, values, struggles, and much more.

REVISED AND UPDATED 2011 EDITION The essence of adolescence hasn't changed since this book was first published in 2005. Their brains haven't skipped a growth spurt; their search for identity hasn't been called off or even detoured; they haven't forgotten how to speak with the ease of attitude. And yet, fingers fly across keys to a host of new adolescent domains--from texting to iTunes, from chats to anything-on-demand. This update traverses new adolescent territory, both charted and uncharted, to bring parents up-to-speed on what to expect and how to deal. Every teenager keeps secrets, and if you're like most parents, you worry about what your kids don't tell you--especially when they prefer text messages and social networking sites to face-to-face conversation. Now this popular guide has been revised and updated to address the challenges parents face with a wired and Web-savvy generation. Jenifer Lippincott and Robin Deutsch offer a deceptively simple plan for talking to your kids that's based on a simple set of rules: Teens need to stay safe, show respect, and keep in touch--online, and in real life.

At last, a book of sage advice that will help frustrated parents reconnect with their teenager and keep that connection even in today's often-crazy world.The first step is simple: realizing that inside every teen resides two very different people-the regressed child and the emergent adult. The emergent adult is seen at school, on the playing field, in his first job, and in front of his friends' families. Unfortunately, his parents usually see only the regressed child-moody and defiant-and, if they're not on the lookout, they'll miss seeing the more agreeable, increasingly adult thinker in their midst.With ingenious strategies for coaxing the more attractive of the two teen personalities into the home, family psychologist Mike Riera gives new hope to beleaguered and harried parents. From moving from a "managing" to a "consulting" role in a teen's life, from working with a teen's uniquely exasperating sleep rhythms to having real conversations when only monosyllables have been previously possible, Staying Connected to Your Teenager demonstrates ways to bring out the best in a teen-and, consequently, in an entire family.

The fourteen essential conversations to have with your tween and early teenager to prepare them for the emotional, physical, and social challenges ahead, including scripts and advice to keep the communication going and stay connected during this critical developmental window. “This book is a gift to parents and teenagers alike.”—Lisa Damour, PhD, author of Untangled and Under Pressure Trying to convince a middle schooler to listen to you can be exasperating. Indeed, it can feel like the best option is not to talk! But keeping kids safe—and prepared for all the times when you can't be the angel on their shoulder—is about having the right conversations at the right time. From a brain growth and emotional readiness perspective, there is no better time for this than their tween years, right up to when they enter high school. Distilling Michelle Icard's decades of experience working with families, Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen focuses on big, thorny topics such as friendship, sexuality, impulsivity, and technology, as well as unexpected conversations about creativity, hygiene, money, privilege, and contributing to the family. Icard outlines a simple, memorable, and family-tested formula for the best approach to these essential talks, the BRIEF Model: Begin peacefully, Relate to your child, Interview to collect information, Echo what you're hearing, and give Feedback. With wit and compassion, she also helps you get over the most common hurdles in talking to tweens, including: • What phrases invite connection and which irritate kids or scare them off • The best places, times, and situations in which to initiate talks • How to keep kids interested, open, and engaged in conversation • How to exit these chats in a way that keeps kids wanting more Like a Rosetta Stone for your tween's confounding language, Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen is an essential communication guide to helping your child through the emotional, physical, and social challenges ahead and, ultimately, toward teenage success.

In this New York Times–bestselling book, Dr. Daniel Siegel shows parents how to turn one of the most challenging developmental periods in their children’s lives into one of the most rewarding. Between the ages of twelve and twenty-four, the brain changes in important and, at times, challenging ways. In Brainstorm, Dr. Daniel Siegel busts a number of commonly held myths about adolescence—for example, that it is merely a stage of “immaturity” filled with often “crazy” behavior. According to Siegel, during adolescence we learn vital skills, such as how to leave home and enter the larger world, connect deeply with others, and safely experiment and take risks. Drawing on important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, Siegel explores exciting ways in which understanding how the brain functions can improve the lives of adolescents, making their relationships more fulfilling and less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide.
