The Breakthrough Years
By Galinsky, Ellen
Blending cutting-edge research with engaging storytelling, The Breakthrough Years offers readers a paradigm-shifting comprehensive understanding of adolescence.. "Just wait until they're a teenager!". Many parents of newborns have heard this warning about the stressful phase that's to come. But what if it doesn't have to be that way?. Child development expert Ellen Galinsky challenges widely held assumptions about adolescents and offers new ways for parents and others to better understand and interact with them in a way that helps them thrive.. By combining the latest research on cognitive neuroscience with an unprecedented and extensive set of studies of young people nine through nineteen and their families, Galinsky reveals, among other things, that adolescents don't want to separate completely from their parents but seek a different type of relationship; that they want to be helpers rather than be helped; and that social media can become a positive influence for teens.

By Carney, Timothy P
The bestselling author of Alienated America traveled the country asking families and experts the same questions: why is parenting so much harder even though the kids are less happy than than a generation ago?Parenting seems harder these days, and Millennials and Generation Z don't seem up for it. Why? It's easy to blame cost or selfishness, but kids have long been an economic drag, and adults have always been selfish. The question is: What's changed? The answer is culture. Our culture is less friendly to parenting that it used to be, and should be.When we were kids, no one was watching us every moment. That was a good thing: it meant our parents felt confident in the society around us.That was the past. Today, the mode of parenting is about hypercontrol.

The Anxious Generation
By Haidt, Jonathan
From New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Coddling of the American Mind,an essential investigation into the collapse of youth mental health - and a plan for a healthier, freer childhood. After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on most measures. Why?. In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the "play-based childhood" began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the "phone-based childhood" in the early 2010s.
