13 cosas que los padres mentalmente fuertes no hacen
by Amy MorinDescubre cómo criar niños seguros y con autoestima entrenando sus cerebros para una vida de felicidad, significado y éxito. ¿Evitas que tu hijo cometa errores? ¿Le das a tu hijo poder sobre ti? ¿Eres padre por culpa? Si es así, no estás solo. Todos los padres quieren brindar a sus hijos el mejor y más seguro futuro. Pero en un mundo cada vez más complicado, muchos padres han llevado las cosas demasiado lejos, creyendo erróneamente que darles a sus hijos la mejor oportunidad de una vida exitosa implica tratar de protegerlos del dolor y la realidad. Muchas de las prácticas de crianza populares de hoy en día no permiten que los padres enseñen a los niños las habilidades que necesitan para convertirse en adultos mentalmente fuertes. Como psicoterapeuta, experta en terapia familiar y para adolescentes, y madre adoptiva, Amy ha sido testigo de primera mano de qué funciona. Cuando los niños tienen las habilidades que necesitan para enfrentar los desafíos en su vida cotidiana, prosperan social, emocional, conductual y académicamente. Amy combina estudios de casos, consejos prácticos, estrategias específicas y ejercicios probados para ayudar a niños de todas las edades; desde preescolares hasta adolescentes, a construir mentes fuertes para convertirse en adultos sanos. Padres mentalmente fuertes crían hijos mentalmente fuertes.
13 razones para hablar con tu hijo adolescente
by Maite Nascimento Araitz PetrizanUn libro práctico e imprescindible para saber actuar frente a problemas tan graves como la alimentación, las drogas y las adicciones, el bullying, el ciberacoso, la identidad sexual, la depresión y el suicidio. El éxito mundial de la serie Por 13 razones, basada en la novela homónima de Jay Asher, ha puesto en primera línea un debate permanente: ¿cómo puede el mundo adulto dar respuesta a la explosión vital que supone la adolescencia? El periodo que cubre la adolescencia suele fijarse entre los 11-12 años y los 18-20. Se trata de grupos de edad extremadamente diferentes que, sin embargo, se encuentran separados por una distancia temporal mínima. En un período tan breve se experimentan algunos de los procesos vitales que marcan una vida para siempre. Cambios físicos de toda índole influyen de forma fundamental en el desarrollo del adolescente. Estos cambios suelen generar conflictos y requieren que los padres o personas responsables del adolescente se aproximen a ellos desde una perspectiva adulta con firmeza y determinación. El rendimiento escolar, los amigos, el aspecto físico, la alimentación, la sexualidad, las adicciones o los trastornos mentales son temas que nos afectan a diario. Temas cotidianos que a menudo se tratan de forma superficial, tópica o sencillamente no se tratan. Es necesario aceptar la inestabilidad como algo propio de la adolescencia y comprender que no se trata de establecer relaciones simétricas de igual a igual. Las relaciones con los hijos adolescentes son relaciones asimétricas en las que el adulto debe tener claro que el inmaduro es el adolescente. La construcción de los canales de comunicación se tiene que establecer desde este punto de vista si se quiere intervenir de forma positiva en esa etapa. Hemos de ser conscientes de que, en mayor o menor medida, el choque va a producirse de forma inevitable y es necesario que la respuesta sea de seguridad y consistencia. Es absolutamente necesario saber establecer límites. Los límites deben ser sólidos. Este libro contiene un kit básico para «sobrevivir» a la llegada de la adolescencia y propone, de forma directa y sintética, trece temas clave para comprender y participar mejor de la vida y los cambios de esta etapa.
13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do: Raising Self-Assured Children and Training Their Brains for a Life of Happiness, Meaning, and Success
by Amy MorinThe author of the international bestseller 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do turns her focus to parents, teaching them how to raise mentally strong and resilient children.Do today’s children lack the flexibility and mental strength they need to cope with life’s challenges in an increasingly complicated and scary world? With safe spaces and trigger warnings designed to "protect" kids, many adults worry that children don’t have the resilience to reach their greatest potential. Amy Morin, the author who identified the characteristics that mentally strong people share, now gives adults—parents, teachers, and other mentors—the tools they need to become mental strength trainers. While other books tell parents what to do, Amy teaches parents what "not to do," which she says is equally important in raising mentally strong youngsters.As a foster parent, psychotherapist, and expert in family and teen therapy, Amy has witnessed first-hand what works. When children have the skills they need to deal with challenges in their everyday lives, they can flourish socially, emotionally, behaviorally, and academically. With appropriate support, encouragement, and guidance from adults, kids grow stronger and become better. Drawing on her experiences and insight, 13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don’t Do combines case studies, practical tips, specific strategies, and concrete and proven exercises to help children of all ages—from preschoolers to teenagers—build mental muscle and develop into healthy, strong adults.
