Teenagere: råd til forældre

Gordon Neufeld og Gabor Matés moderne klassiker og internationale bestseller fra 2004 (Hold on to Your Kids. Why Parents Need to Matter more than Peers) er en åben invitation til alle forældre, der ønsker at opdrage deres barn på en måde, så den vigtige RELATION – nemlig den til forældre og andre vigtige voksne i barnets liv – altid er i fokus. Men bogen er ikke kun skrevet med henblik på forældreopgaven. Alle med interesse for børn og unge, ja, alle der arbejder professionelt i feltet, kan høste uvurderlige erkendelser gennem bogen. Og i særlig grad alle unge studerende inden for felter, der beskæftiger sig med dette arbejde – pædagoger, lærere, psykologer, sagsbehandlere, socialrådgivere, sygeplejersker, læger etc. Bogen er banebrydende inden for pædagogisk forståelse og handling og oplagt som fast pensum på en lang række studier. Gordon Neufelds sigte med bogen er at hjælpe os til at genskabe den intuitive viden om de vigtige relationer, som danner grundlag for barnets mulighed for at blomstre og udfolde sit potentiale som menneske. Udgangspunktet for Neufelds paradigme er hans helt særlige tilknytningsmodel. Tilknytningsmodellen beskriver 6 trin, som ideelt set skulle udfolde sig i barnets første 6 til 9 leveår. Den dybeste tilknytning er til eksempel den, der ligger til grund for, at det kan lykkes for et menneske at bryde den sociale arv. Tilknytningsmodellen åbner døre til en dyb indsigt i menneskenaturen, og med den som baggrund bliver barnets modningsprocesser forståelige, og dermed alt det, der befordrer disse, og alt det, der kan komme i vejen. Når vi ved, hvad der kunne være, har vi mulighed for at se, hvad der mangler, og finde vejen tilbage.Gordon Neufeld tager i bogen armtag med mange aspekter af vores samfund, som ikke er befordrende for vores børn. Han er på børnenes side, og han er på forældrenes side, og de voksne med ansvar for børns udvikling. Bogen har siden dens udgivelse i 2004 været en øjenåbner for forældre og folk i hele verden, der på den ene eller anden måde arbejder professionelt med børn, og den er p.t. oversat til 25 sprog. I genudgivelsen fra 2013 har Gordon Neufeld tilføjet 2 kapitler (som også er med i den danske udgivelse) om opdragelse i den digitale tidsalder. Han kommer her ind på, hvad det er for stærke kræfter, vi har med at gøre i de digitale medier, og hvordan vi kan gennemskue deres påvirkning på vores børns udvikling, så vi kan navigere i dette helt nye felt og styre det, der skal styres, som ansvarlige voksne, i stedet for at børn og unge bliver kørt over af det.Bogen er skrevet i et klart, tilgængeligt og fortællende sprog, hvor forfatteren tager os med ind i hverdagssituationer med børn og forældre, som de fleste af os sikkert kan genkende. Bogens indhold er relevant for forældre til børn i alle aldre, fra småbørn og helt frem til voksne børn. Oversættelsen fra canadisk til dansk varetages af Grete Lyngdorf, der gennem tretten år har formidlet Gordon Neufelds materiale til danske forældre og professionelle gennem NEUFELD KURSER I DANMARK.

Bag den lukkede teenagedør er der et FANTASTISK projekt i gang!Unge er hverken dumme eller dovne, og deres hjerner er ikke ude af drift. De er i gang med et kæmpe udviklingsprojekt, med at bygge deres personlighed og med at folde sig ud fra barn til voksen.Den fantastiske teenagehjerne fortæller om alt det, der sker i ungdommen. Om risikoadfærd og konsekvensberegning, om sex og relationer, om selvskade og digitale krænkelser, om at opleve alting stærkere og mere intenst end på noget andet tidspunkt i livet, om mod og tvivl og om fuldt fokus på de andre unge – på godt og ondt.Bogen shamer hverken de unge eller forældrene. Den er fuld af gode råd til forældre – og bygger på spændende forskning og statistik om unge og ungdomskultur. Statistikkerne om unge er soleklar: De unge har aldrig opført sig bedre, end de gør i dag. De drikker mindre, tager færre stoffer og begår mindre kriminalitet. De tænker globalt, bekymrer sig om miljøet og er mere tolerante end tidligere generationer.Samtidig har de aldrig haft det værre. Deres mentale trivsel er dårligere, de har mere ondt i maven, de føler sig forkerte, angste, deprimerede og mere ensomme end nogensinde før.Ungdommen er på samme tid en kæmpe optur og et mentalt lavpunkt. Tag med en tur i den store udviklingskarrusel!En livsnødvendig og livsbekræftende bog til alle teenageforældre og til dem, der har med unge at gøre i deres arbejde: lærere, pædagoger og andre fagfolk.

Hvordan tager man som forældre eller professionel fat på samtaler med unge, der ryger hash? Hvad gør man, når den unges forbrug står i vejen for det gode ungdomsliv? Hvordan skaber man dialog i stedet for konflikt? Det giver denne bog konkrete og vedkommende bud på. På baggrund af sit mangeårige arbejde i Stofrådgivningen giver bogens forfatter, familieterapeut Anine Boisen, et væld af gode råd og konkret viden om unge og hash. Bogen rummer også casehistorier med brugbare ideer til, hvordan man – som forældre eller professionel – kan forstå og håndtere de problemer, der følger med, når unge har et forbrug af hash. Med udgangspunkt i fakta om hash og en nuanceret forståelse af, hvad det vil sige at være teenager, beskriver bogen en række centrale temaer: de første samtaler om hash, når unge lyver og stjæler, forældres afmagt og samarbejde omkring konflikter og forandringer. Bogen henvender sig til forældre, lærere, ungerådgivere, socialrådgivere og andre, der er tæt på unge, der har et forbrug af hash. "Nyt skal læres, gammelt skal kasseres, der skal tages hensyn til rusmidlernes virkning på den unge og til, hvem den unge er. I den situation er der brug for støtte, råd og vejledning. Det er her, denne bog kommer med viden og en række vigtige råd og ideer til handlemuligheder." - Henrik Rindom, misbrugsekspert og speciallæge i psykiatri

Det står ikke godt til med den mentale trivsel hos de unge. Mange kæmper med stress, angst, ensomhed og følelsen af at være utilstrækkelig, og selv de mere robuste kan blive udfordret.

Vi står over for at skulle betragte forældrerollen med et fornyet og opdateret syn. Det er ikke bare et spørgsmål om at få nogle nye værktøjer eller en ny praksis. Det er at vågne op fra vores mindset og etablerede forestilling om: ”Hvad er en mor? Hvad er en far?”Det sker ikke ved primært at observere, mestre og håndtere vores børn, men ved at observere og håndtere os selv og kigge mere indad. Vores største håb og ønske er at give vores børn al den kærlighed, vi har til dem, og det er ikke altid lige nemt! At give kærlighed er også at give nærvær, og det sker ved, at vi forbinder os med vores børn. Men for at kunne forbinde os autentisk, er vi nødt til at kunne forbinde os med os selv.Denne bog er til dig, der ønsker at blive en endnu mere bevidstgjort forælder med en tidssvarende og forstærket bevidsthed i dit forældreskab.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An urgently needed guide to help parents understand their teenagers’ intense and often fraught emotional lives—and how to support teens through this critical developmental stage—from the author of Untangled and Under Pressure“How are we supposed to get our kids through these daunting years? There are countless books on the subject, but The Emotional Lives of Teenagers is the nuanced, empathetic one I wish I’d had when I was in the trenches.”—Judith Newman, The New York Times Book ReviewIn teenagers, powerful emotions come with the territory. And as teens contend with with academic pressure, social media stress, worries about the future, and concerns about their own mental health, it’s easy for them—and their parents—to feel anxious and overwhelmed. But it doesn’t have to be that way.Parents who read this book will learn:• what to expect in the normal course of adolescent emotional development and when it’s time to worry• why teens (and adults) need to understand that mental health isn’t about “feeling good” but about having feelings that fit the moment, even if those feelings are unwanted or painful• strategies for supporting teens who feel at the mercy of their emotions, so they can become psychologically aware and skilled at managing their feelings• how to approach common challenges that come with adolescence, such as friction at home, spiking anxiety, risky behavior, navigating friendships and romances, the pull of social media, and many more• the best ways to stay connected to their teens and how to provide the kind of relationship that adolescents need and wantWith clear, research-informed explanations alongside illuminating, real-life examples, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers gives parents the concrete, practical information they need to steady their teens through the bumpy yet transformational journey into adulthood.

Discovering George Michael's Faith confirmed for David Crabb what every bully already knew: he was gay. What saved him from high school was finding a group of outlandish friends who reveled in being outsiders. David found himself enmeshed with misfits: wearing black, cutting class, staying out all night, drinking, tripping, chain-smoking, idolizing the Pet Shop Boys?and learning lessons about life and love along the way.Richly detailed with nineties pop-culture, and including black-and-white photos throughout, Bad Kid is as laugh-out-loud funny as it is poignant. David Crabb's journey through adolescence captures the essence of every person's struggle to understand his or her true self.

Adolescence is the most dramatic and formative period of our lives. It is when we become who we are, when the smallest things can have life-long effects. But it is also full of contradictions, making it bewildering to live through and widely misunderstood. We may struggle to understand the adolescents in our lives, but most of us have yet to come to terms with our own adolescence.In this expert, empowering book, Lucy Foulkes draws on the latest research and in-depth interviews to demystify adolescent behaviours - friendship, risk-taking, sex, love, bullying and more - and expose the surprising and often moving reality beneath them. We see that teenagers are far more conservative than rebellious; that apparent recklessness is often calculated and risk-averse; that popularity is a mixed blessing even as friendships can be a life-changing good. We understand why social hierarchies are so fiercely policed, even while adolescents have an extraordinary capacity for empathy and mutual support; why appearances are overly important, and why rejection at this age hurts so much. We see that even the most difficult experiences are part of this essential and life-shaping process of self-discovery.If our identities are a story, then the crucial first draft is written in adolescence. Coming of Age helps us read that story with clarity and compassion so that we can appreciate the adolescents we know but also those we once were - those wild and fragile people who helped us become who we are.

The Subconscious Mind: An IntroductionWelcome to a fascinating journey into the depths of your mind - a realm that holds immense power and potential to transform your life. In this subchapter, we will delve into the mysteries of the subconscious mind, exploring its significance and unveiling the incredible ways it can shape your reality. Prepare to embark on a remarkable exploration of the power of thoughts and how they can reprogram your destiny.The subconscious mind is a reservoir of thoughts, beliefs, memories, and emotions that exist beneath the surface of our conscious awareness. It is like the unseen force that influences every aspect of our lives, from our actions and decisions to our relationships and overall well-being. While the conscious mind is responsible for logic and reasoning, the subconscious mind operates on a different level - one that is deeply connected to our emotions, instincts, and intuition.It is essential to understand that the subconscious mind does not differentiate between positive and negative thoughts. It merely accepts what is impressed upon it, regardless of its nature. Therefore, if we consistently feed our subconscious mind with negative thoughts, doubts, and fears, it will manifest these negative patterns in our lives. On the other hand, if we consciously choose to fill our minds with positive thoughts, empowering beliefs, and a strong sense of purpose, our subconscious mind will work relentlessly to bring these dreams into reality.Harnessing the power of thoughts begins with awareness. By becoming aware of our thought patterns, we can identify any self-limiting beliefs or negative programming that may be holding us back. Once we recognize these patterns, we can start reprogramming our subconscious mind by replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations and visualizations. This process requires patience, persistence, and consistent practice, but the rewards are immense.As you embark on this journey of reprogramming your destiny, it is important to remember that the power lies within you. By recognizing the incredible potential of your subconscious mind and learning to harness it effectively, you can transform your life in ways you never thought possible. By actively choosing empowering thoughts, cultivating a positive mindset, and aligning your actions with your deepest desires, you can create a life filled with purpose, joy, and fulfillment.
