Gebundene Ausgabe, [EAN: 9780788167768], Diane Pub Co, Englisch, Englisch, Englisch, Diane Pub Co, Book, Diane Pub Co, Diane Pub Co, Adolescence has always been a scary, challenging time for both parents and children, but these days it feels as though the stakes have been raised. In The Essential Guide to the New Adolescence, Ava L. Siegler, director of the Institute for Child, Adolescent, and Family Studies in New York City, helps parents understand their adolescent's struggles and provides excellent approaches and solutions to these difficulties. Siegler describes five distinct "profiles" that shape and define most teen behavior: anxiety, rebellion, depression, withdrawal, and overconnection. She also describes how five basic fears of adolescence are transformed during that time. To illustrate her points, Siegler shares real-life studies that mirror those profiles and fears. Some of the profiled adolescents and their families are going through "normal" struggles; some are stuck in real problems. Siegler explains the dynamics that contribute to each family's particular crisis and provides specific communication tools to help parents who have adolescent children in similar situations or states of mind. Siegler's approach is right on the mark: she is wise, compassionate, and helpful. The stories are moving and, for parents of teenagers, all too familiar. , 64619011, Adolescent Psychology, 64618011, Psychology & Counseling, 64617011, Health, Mind & Body, 54071011, Subjects, 52044011, Englische Bücher, 208622031, Gebundene Ausgabe, 208621031, Format (binding_browse-bin), 366250011, Refinements, 52044011, Englische Bücher, 493113031, Englisch, 493112031, Languages, 366250011, Refinements, 52044011, Englische Bücher<

Peter Trudgill looks at why human societies at different times and places produce different kinds of language. He considers how far social factors influence language structure and compares languages and dialects spoken across the globe, from Vietnam to Nigeria, Polynesia to Scandinavia, and from Canada to Amazonia. Modesty prevents Pennsylvanian Dutch Mennonites using the verb wotte ('want'); stratified society lies behind complicated Japanese honorifics; and a mountainous homeland suggests why speakers of Tibetan-Burmese Lahu have words for up there and down there. But culture and environment don't explain why Amazonian Jarawara needs three past tenses, nor why Nigerian Igbo can make do with eight adjectives, nor why most languages spoken in high altitudes do not exhibit an array of spatial demonstratives. Nor do they account for some languages changing faster than others or why some get more complex while others get simpler. The author looks at these and many other puzzles, exploring the social, linguistic, and other factors that might explain them and in the context of a huge range of languages and societies. Peter Trudgill writes readably, accessibly, and congenially. His book is jargon-free, informed by acute observation, and enlivened by argument: it will appeal to everyone with an interest in the interactions of language with culture, environment, and society. adolescent psychology,developmental psychology,health fitness and dieting,medical books,parenting and relationships,psychology,psychology and counseling,social sciences,textbooks Parenting & Relationships, DIANE Publishing Company<
