Why is it that the behaviour of teenagers can be so odd? As they grow older, young children steadily improve their sense of how to behave, and then all of a sudden, they can become totally uncommunicative, wildly emotional and completely unpredictable. We used to think that erratic teenage behaviour was due to a sudden surge in hormones, but modern neuroscience shows us that this isn't true.

Chute shows that while our childhood identities still drive us as adults, we can learn to turn the wheel in a new direction.

From minor matters (tidiness, homework, sleep) to big and important ones (relationships, mental ill health, drugs and alcohol), teenagers and their parents often struggle to talk to each other—and talking is key if your young person is facing new challenges as they leave childhood behind. A well-timed conversation, a listening ear, a non-judgmental and receptive attitude—all these can make an enormous and lasting impact on how safely and happily a teenager navigates this crucial stage of their development. Oh, if only it were that easy.

The author of 21 Days to a Happier Family, Dr Justin Coulson, on raising kids who'll bounce back from adversity and challenging times. Have you ever watched your child give up too quickly and easily, moaning 'I can't'. Perhaps your child resists going to school because they don't like their teacher or their friend rejected them. Maybe they failed in a sporting contest or an exam. One of the most frequent questions Kidspot parenting expert Dr Coulson is asked is 'How can I help my child become resilient?'

Sfrontati e fragili, ostili e desiderosi di affetto, gli adolescenti rappresentano una sfida per gli adulti, ma soprattutto per loro stessi, alle prese come sono con la difficile costruzione del proprio io e del proprio ruolo sociale. Anche se alcuni drammatici fatti di cronaca sembrano insondabili è compito degli adulti capire. Ogni generalizzazione produce soltanto pregiudizi e la "miscela" dell'adolescenza, per non diventare esplosiva, richiede adulti coerenti nell'esempio e nella guida, capaci di attenzione e di rispetto.

Writing directly to girls and young women, Dr. Tara Porter draws on decades of experience to offer insight into their own psychology.
