The New Adolescence: Raising Happy and Successful Teens in an Age of Anxiety and Distraction

 The New Adolescence is a handbook for parents that offers road-tested, science-based solutions for raising happy, healthy, and successful teenagers.

In this book, you’ll find practical guidance for:

• Providing the support and structure teens need (while still giving them the autonomy they seek)
• Influencing and motivating teenagers
• Helping kids overcome distractions that hinder learning
• Protecting them from anxiety, isolation, and depression
• Having effective conversations about tough subjects–including sex, drugs, and money

The New Adolescence is available from Amazon and other booksellers.

The author, Christine Carter, Ph.D., is a Senior Fellow at the Greater Good Science Center at U.C. Berkeley. Carter also wrote The Sweet Spot: How to Accomplish More by Doing Less (Ballantine Books, 2015), and Raising Happiness: 10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents (Random House, 2010).
