Helping Adolescents with Anger, Alienation & Low Self-Esteem
Margot Sunderland & Nicky Armstrong
A problem free adolescence enables young people to engage their creativity and develop a deeper level of social and emotional intelligence.
However, if things go wrong, feelings of anxiety or depression, low self-esteem, peer pressure or identity crises can ensue and family relationships breakdown. They may withdraw or vent their anger through violent, anti-social behaviour or turn to alcohol or drugs.
This book provides practical, tried-and-tested interventions which enable young people to move from anger to increased self-esteem and an ability to thrive. Includes emotion worksheets designed to enable young people to access their true feelings beneath the bravado and aggression.
- Learn how to initiate and develop meaningful conversations to connect with young people.
- Help adolescents to address their feelings so they don't act inappropriately or withdraw.
- Learn why adolescents move into anti-social behaviour.
- Understand the journey from childhood pain to teenage violence.
- Feel empowered to manage the feelings that adolescents evoke in you.
- Understand through psychological research and brain science what makes young people offend.
This book can be used alongside Smasher, a therapeutic storybook for adolescents, or as a stand-alone resource by any professional or parent seeking to help adolescents who struggle with anger and low self-esteem.
