In this New York Times bestseller, one of America’s premier physicians offers a must-read account of the new challenges facing parents today and a program for how we can better prepare our children to navigate the obstacles they face In The Collapse of Parenting, internationally acclaimed author Leonard Sax argues that rising levels of obesity, depression, and anxiety among young people can be traced to parents abdicating their authority. The result is children who have no standard of right and wrong, who lack discipline, and who look to their peers and the Internet for direction. Sax shows how parents must reassert their authority - by limiting time with screens, by encouraging better habits at the dinner table, and by teaching humility and perspective - to renew their relationships with their children. Drawing on nearly thirty years of experience as a family physician and psychologist, along with hundreds of interviews with children, parents, and teachers, Sax offers a blueprint parents can use to help their children thrive in an increasingly complicated world.

Many children and adolescents face developmental or situational difficulties in areas where they live most of their meaningful experiences-at home, at school, and in the community. While adults who struggle with life events and stressors may look to professional help, young individuals are quite alone in coping with these situations. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most children and adolescents typically do not seek such help, and often resist it when offered. Author Zipora Shechtman has written this detailed text advocating group counseling and psychotherapy as a viable means of addressing these issues if we are to ensure the psychological wellness of children in society. Group Counseling and Psychotherapy With Children and Adolescents is arranged in four parts. Its chapters explore topics including: *who needs group counseling and psychotherapy; *therapeutic factors in children's groups; *activities in the group; *pre-group planning and forming a group; and *how to enhance emotional experiencing and group support. This text is a principal source of information for counseling psychology students, researchers, and practitioners working with young people, in addition to social workers, teachers, and parents.

These essential aspects of social behavior are not mere facts but rather fundamental building blocks that contribute significantly to a child's overall development and future success. As a global authority in child psychology, I underscore the essential role that children's etiquettes and manners play in facilitating mutual understanding between children and their parents. First and foremost, children's etiquettes and manners are necessary tools for effective communication. Politeness, respect, and consideration are the bases of civilized discourse. By teaching children how to express themselves politely and respectfully, parents pave the way for harmonious interactions within the family unit. When children are equipped with the ability to articulate their thoughts and feelings in a courteous manner, parents can better realize their needs, fears, and desires, leading to enhanced empathy and understanding. Additionally, teaching children good manners instills discipline and self-control, two qualities that are invaluable in any developmental stage. By observing to established social norms, children learn to regulate their impulses and emotions. This self-regulation not only aids in maintaining peace within the family but also contributes to a child's emotional intelligence. Parents who prioritize etiquette and manners in their child-rearing approach often find that their children are better equipped to handle stress, frustration, and conflict, thus fostering a deeper understanding between parent and child. A well-mannered child is also more likely to develop positive noble relationships. The social skills acquired through learning and practicing good etiquette enable children to navigate the complex ground of noble interactions with grace and ease. As children grow, they rely increasingly on friends for emotional support and friendship. By instilling good manners early on, parents empower their children to build healthy friendships, further enhancing their social and emotional development. A child who understands the importance of respecting others' boundaries and feelings is more likely to form lasting, meaningful connections with peers, which, in turn, can lead to increased parental insight into their child's social world. Children's etiquettes and manners also play an essential role in their academic success. In educational settings, politeness and respect are essential for productive learning environments. A child who respects their teachers, classmates, and school rules is more likely to excel academically. Moreover, children with good manners tend to be more cooperative, attentive, and open to learning, enabling parents to better comprehend their child's educational needs and aspirations. Effective communication between parents and teachers is paramount in ensuring a child's academic progress, and the presence of good manners facilitates this communication. As children progress through different stages of development, they encounter various challenges and opportunities for personal growth. It is essential for parents to be attuned to their child's evolving needs and emotions. Etiquette and manners serve as a compass, guiding children through these transitions while allowing parents to remain actively engaged and supportive. When children practice empathy, gratitude, and consideration, parents gain deeper insights into their child's values, beliefs, and character, fostering a profound bond of understanding and trust. children's etiquettes and manners are not superficial facts but essential components of their holistic development. These virtues prepare children with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of social interactions, foster positive relationships, excel academically, and confront the challenges of personal growth. As parents, it is our responsibility to instill and reinforce these qualities in our children, not only for their benefit but also to enhance our mutual understanding and strengthen the parent-child bond. Through the cultivation of good manners and etiquettes, we lay the foundation for a brighter future filled with respect, empathy, and harmonious family dynamics.
