Paperback. Condition: Good. Who says the teen years have to be terrible? Although the word teenager has become synonymous with trouble, the evidence is clear: Adolescents have gotten a bad rap-and this according to a landmark eight-year study of 4,000 teens from twenty-five states. In The Good Teen, acclaimed researcher Richard M. Lerner sets the record straight. The book: . Explores the academic origins of "the troubled teen," dismantling old myths and redefining normal adolescence . Presents the five characteristics of teen behavior that are proven to fuel positive development-Competence, Confidence, Connection,Character, and Caring-and specific ways parents can foster them . Envisions our children as resources to be developed, not problems to be fixed . Clearly shows parents what to do when things really go wrong-all teens, no matter how troubled they seem, can be helped . Encourages new thinking, new public policies, and new programs that focus on the strengths of teens "There is no one in America today who understands teenagers better than Richard Lerner." -William Damon, author of The Moral Child, professor of education, and director of the Stanford Center on Adolescence, Stanford University. …
