Teens are growing up in an entirely new world, and this has huge implications for our parenting. Understandably, many parents are baffled by problems that didn't exist less than a decade ago, like social media and video game obsession, sexting, and vaping.

The New Adolescence is a realistic and reassuring handbook for parents. It offers road-tested, science-based solutions for raising happy, healthy, and successful teenagers.

Inside, you'll find practical guidance for:

- Providing the support and structure teens need (while still giving them the autonomy they seek)
- Influencing and motivating teenagers
- Helping kids overcome distractions that hinder their learning
- Protecting them from anxiety, isolation, and depression
- Fostering the real-world, face-to-face social connections they desperately need
- Having effective conversations about tough subjects--including sex, drugs, and money

A highly acclaimed sociologist and coach at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center and the author of Raising Happiness, Dr. Christine Carter melds research--including the latest findings in neuroscience, sociology, and social psychology--with her own (often hilarious) real-world experiences as the mother of four teenagers.
