Travelling Teens
註釋Moving house is becoming a more common aspect of modern life; but this does not make it any easier to cope with the many issues that arise--from the everyday practicalities, to the social and emotional challenges involved. Families who are required to relocate face the potentially difficult task of settling each family member into the new environment. For parents of teenagers, this can be a huge challenge--coping with resistance to leaving old friends, schools and sporting groups, as well as assisting them to find their place in a new setting. "Travelling teens: A Parents' Guide to Family Relocation," by experienced parenting author and counsellor Pam Linke, covers the issues that teenagers are likely to be grappling with at this stage of their life. The practical strategies offered are based upon research through surveys of parents and teenagers in families of Australian Defence Force members. This book provides expert advice on how to support teens during the relocation process, and to make what is often a difficult situation into a positive experience. The information and strategies in "Travelling Teens" are relevant to any young people who have to move house, from all walks of life. After a foreword and an introduction, the following sections are included: (1) "The First Step"; (2)"Teenagers/Adolescents/Young People -- Who Are They?"; (3) " Changes of Adolescence"; (4) "Tips for Parenting Teens"; (5) "Letting Go"; (6) "When to be Concerned About Your Teenager"; (7) "Some Facts About Change"; (8) "Parents and Change -- Teenagers' Views"; (9) "Moving House with Young People"; (10) "What the Survey Said; (11) What the Teenagers Say; (12) Preparing for the Move; (13) About Education"; (14) "Rituals"; (15) "Finding Your Feet in a New Place"; (16) " About Relationships"; (17) "Making New Friends"; (18) "Getting into the Right Group"; (19) "Keeping Connections with Old Friends"; (20) "Bullying and Teasing"; (21) "Behaviour"; (22) "Talking about Feelings"; (23) "Managing the Hard Things"; (24) "When Your Teen Needs More Help"; and (25) "Positive Learnings from Moving".
