Il genitore strategico. Vincere le sfide con i figli senza combattere. L’approccio breve e strategico per l’adolescenza

For many children, adolescence is a trap from which it is difficult to escape, for others it is a confused state in which they continue to linger for a long time. We are so accustomed to stereotypes and diagnoses, but when it comes to adolescents we do not take into account the transformations that take place on a mental level at that age, and how vital it is to rely on children’s attachment relationships in order to avoid the dangers they might find themselves exposed to. Is it possible for young people to live this phase without taking too many risks and causing any harm to themselves and to others? The authors advise parents on how to understand, relate and behave with their children. The book highlights the main dangers to which children are exposed and the consequent psychological alterations they may face. The book also explores several related topics, like: fears transmitted by parents, mental modifications due to the condition of emotional fragility, the social withdrawal of hikikomori, the increasing dangers of the Web and the risks related to drugs. “The strategic parent” is an aid tool not only for parents, but also for educators, family therapists and anyone dealing with adolescents.
