Smart but Scattered Teens: The "Executive Skills" Program for Helping Teens Reach Their Potential de Richard Guare

Smart but Scattered Teens: The "Executive Skills" Program for Helping Teens Reach Their Potential

Autor Richard Guare, Peg Dawson, Colin Guare
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 ian 2013

Adolescența aduce cu sine o explozie de responsabilități, însă pentru mulți tineri, biologia creierului nu ține pasul cu cerințele școlare și sociale. Notăm cu interes cum Smart but Scattered Teens abordează această discrepanță nu ca pe o lipsă de voință, ci ca pe o întârziere în dezvoltarea funcțiilor executive. Este o temă vitală pentru părinții care se confruntă zilnic cu replici precum „fac mai târziu” sau cu uitarea constantă a temelor, oferind o alternativă științifică la pedepsele ineficiente.

Subliniem perspectiva unică a acestui volum, unde experiența clinică a doctorilor Richard Guare și Peg Dawson este completată de vocea lui Colin Guare, un tânăr care a trăit personal provocările dezorganizării. Această triadă de autori oferă un echilibru între rigoarea academică și empatia necesară în relația părinte-copil. Reținem că volumul este organizat strategic în trei părți: înțelegerea creierului adolescent, stabilirea fundamentelor motivaționale și, cel mai important, un manual aplicat pentru gestionarea timpului, a emoțiilor și a memoriei de lucru.

Copiii care au beneficiat de strategiile din Smart but Scattered, First Edition vor găsi aici aceeași structură logică și practică, însă adaptată contextului mult mai complex al liceului și al tranziției spre maturitate. Față de The Smart but Scattered Guide to Success, care vizează adulții, acest titlu se concentrează pe medierea dintre părinte și adolescent, oferind instrumente concrete precum fișe de lucru și planuri de „coaching”. Cartea continuă misiunea autorilor începută în Executive Skills in Children and Adolescents, Third Edition, transformând conceptele teoretice în pași executabili pentru viața de zi cu zi.

The clever strategies for getting around teens' creative resistance to making changes are particularly helpful. I will recommend this gem of a book to all of the parents and adolescents I treat.--Arthur L. Robin, PhD, coauthor of Your Defiant Teen

Executive skills are critical to success in life, but may be delayed in some teens and young adults--and parents are often at a loss for how to help. Smart but Scattered Teens is just what parents need. This is a highly useful guide for improving teens' executive skills and motivating them to use the skills they already have.--Patricia O. Quinn, MD, coauthor of Ready for Take-Off: Preparing Your Teen with ADHD or LD for College

Does your teen's behavior have you tearing out your hair in frustration? Quit nagging and use this wonderfully insightful and practical book to coach your 'smart but scattered' teen for personal, educational, and social success.--William Pfohl, PsyD, past president, International School Psychology Association

I was hooked from the first chapter! This book has opened my eyes to ways to foster my son's strengths, not just criticize his weaknesses. With all the issues we battle daily, it's easy to forget the power of the positive. I'm thrilled to have a specific plan of action for targeting the skills my son needs to do better in school and become more focused and responsible.--Kim L.
-The book's 'executive skills' are the critical tools needed to solve problems, manage time, and perform tasks. As many parents know, tweens and teens often lack these abilities....A very helpful addition to parenting shelves.--Library Journal, 2/14/2013ƒƒAn easy-to-read, well-documented, and well-resourced book that, if utilized, would surely better both the relationship between any teen and their parents and also assist the teen in developing better executive function skills….It is a book that can be recommended to parents by professionals working with teenagers….Guilford is to be commended for offering this book at such reasonable pricing. Hopefully it will increase the utility and desire on many parents' parts to purchase this book so that it can help their families and their teenagers.--Child and Family Behavior Therapy, 1/3/2013
