The New Adolescence: Raising Happy and Successful Teens in an Age of Anxiety and Distraction
Christine Carter, Ph.D. returns to the Glenbard Parents Series as part of our 25th year celebration to offer science-based strategies for raising happy, healthy, and successful young people. Today’s parents confront teen-challenges including social media pressures, video game obsession, sexting, vaping and uncertainty. Drawing on both research and practical applications, Dr. Carter offers tools to cope with modern pressures, and tactics parents can use to instill joy in teens that will point them toward meaningful and productive lives.
Dr. Carter is a sociologist, and Senior Fellow at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center. Her best-selling books include The New Adolescence: Raising Happy and Successful Teens in an Age of Anxiety and Distraction and Raising Happiness: 10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents. Dr. Carter writes a monthly advice column syndicated on PsychologyToday.com and regularly appears on television, radio, and in major print media.
