As the mother of two high-school freshmen, and a licensed professional counselor, I was eager to gather as much information to prepare myself and my kids for the road ahead. I was not disappointed. Doctors Hibbs and Rostain validate our very normal parental angst as well as that of our children. I silently cheered for the support in publication that we are pushing our kids too far and too fast.....literally beyond what their biological development can keep up with. This leaves us with higher rates of depression and anxiety in high school as well as college age kids and all of the problems that this can lead to. This book took me by the hand and let me know that I, nor my children, are alone. It's now on the "recommended reading list" for every parent I work with! ( ) no reviews | add a review
"From two leading child and adolescent mental health experts comes a guide for the parents of every college and college-bound student who want to know what's normal mental health and behavior, what's not, and how to intervene before it's too late. All parenting is in preparation for letting go. However, the paradox of parenting is that the more we learn about late adolescent development and risk, the more frightened we become for our children, and the more we want to stay involved in their lives. This becomes particularly necessary, and also particularly challenging, in mid- to late adolescence, the years just before and after students head off to college. These years coincide with the emergence of many mood disorders and other mental health issues. When family psychologist Dr. B. Hibbs's own son came home from college mired in a dangerous depressive spiral, she turned to Dr. Anthony Rostain. Dr. Rostain has a secret superpower: he understands the arcane rules governing privacy and parental involvement in students' mental health care on college campuses, the same rules that sometimes hold parents back from getting good care for their kids. Now, these two doctors have combined their expertise to corral the crucial emotional skills and lessons that every parent and student can learn for a successful launch from home to college"-- No library descriptions found. |
