"As parents, we worry about our children - about their physical health, performance at school, the types of friends they have, and, of course, their mental health. Every day seems to bring new and expanding issues and disorders and troubling statistics about the rise of mental illness in children and teens. It's usually obvious what to do for physical injuries like broken bones, but when it comes to our children's mental health, the answers are much less clear, and sometimes even contradictory.
"Pier Bryden and Peter Szatmari, top child and adolescent psychiatrists, are here to help. Using their combined six decades working with families and kids - and their own experiences as parents - they break down the stigma of mental health illness and walk parents through the warning signs, risk factors, prevention strategies, and the process of diagnosis and treatment for mental health challenges arising from: anxiety, substance use disorders, eating disorders, sleep disorders, depression, trauma, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, psychosis, ADHD, and autism.
"The most important thing to remember as a parent is that you and your child are not alone and there is a lot you can do to improve your child's mental health. The road ahead isn't always easy or straightforward, but start here to learn how to advocate for your child's well-being"--from the inside front cover.

Il reste que certains traits se dégagent et que tous vivent une période complexe. Crise ? Oui, en quelque sorte. L'adolescent traverse une crise, une transformation. L'adolescence inquiète parce que les risques sont effectivement là. Et pour traverser cette étape, Les ados ont besoin de leurs parents. A leurs côtés et non en face d'eux. Conçu comme les précédents - par tranche d'âge -, ce livre explore la psychologie des adolescents, ainsi que certaines composantes biologiques et physiologiques, et aide ainsi à poser un regard nouveau sur les motivations de leurs comportements.

Abstract
The first parenting book to bring the science and psychology of children's behavior together to build brain/body awareness for self-regulation and success Self-Reg is a ground-breaking book that presents an entirely new understanding of your child's emotions and behavior that serves as a practical guide for parents to help their kids engage calmly and successfully in learning and life. Rooted in decades of clinical practice and research by leading child psychologist Dr. Stuart Shanker, Self-Reg realigns the power of the parent-child relationship for positive change. Self-regulation is the nervous system's way of responding to stress. We are seeing a generation of children and teens with excessively high levels of stress and, as a result, an explosion of emotional, social, learning, behavior, and physical health problems. But few parents recognize the "hidden stressors" that their children are struggling with: physiological as well as social and emotional. An entrenched view of child rearing is seeing our children as lacking self-control or will-power, but the real basis for these problems lies in excessive stress. Self-regulation can dramatically improve a child's mood, attention, and concentration. It can help children to feel empathy and to develop the sorts of virtues that every parent knows are vital for their child's long-term well-being. Self-regulation brings about profound and lasting transformation that continues to mature throughout life. Shanker translates decades of his findings from working with children into practical, prescriptive advice for parents, giving them concrete ways to develop their self-regulation skills and teach their children how to do the same for optimal learning, social, and emotional growth as well as for overall well-being.

Abstract
Moment charnière entre L'enfance et l'âge adulte, l'adolescence est cette période de la vie où un jeune acquiert son indépendance. Cette quête d'autonomie, qui n'est pas un choix mais une nécessité, passe par des essais et des prises de risque. Les parents peuvent se sentir désarmés, avoir l'impression qu'ils ne sont plus écoutés, que leur adolescent échappe à tout contrôle. Pourtant, ils doivent l'accompagner au mieux pour lui permettre de vivre et de savourer les expériences de son âge, sans perte de chance pour son avenir. Essayer le cannabis ne conduit pas inéluctablement à la toxicomanie. En revanche, fumer pour gérer ses émotions constitue une consommation à risque. De même que jouer est indispensable à l'homme, trouver dans les jeux vidéo un moyen de fuir la réalité pose un vrai problème. Enfin, la fête et l'alcool font très bon ménage, sauf lorsqu'ils transforment la prise de risque en une réelle mise en danger.Quand un adolescent a une conduite problématique, lui faire entendre raison n'est pas chose facile. Son cerveau, encore en développement, privilégie l'émotionnel au rationnel. Face à cette réalité, ce sont des liens de confiance, solides et stables, qui vont permettre aux parents d'accompagner leur enfant. Faire confiance à son adolescent et à ses compétences de parents est un élément clé pour l'épanouissement de tous.Dans cet ouvrage, des spécialistes proposent un autre regard sur l'adolescence et préconisent des attitudes parentales issues de leur pratique clinique auprès de familles d'adolescents.
