Parents worry they don’t have the understanding or training to be able to care for their kids in a world that is increasingly superficial, politicized, and performance driven. Disconnected makes the concepts and strategies described in the bestselling Hurt: Inside the World of Today’s Teenagers accessible to parents. After the overwhelming response to Hurt, authors Chap and Dee Clark here equip parents with an up-to-date, realistic parenting book that doesn’t ignore the harsh realities of adolescent life. It builds a foundation for parents by describing exactly how things have changed, takes them through the various developmental stages their children go through, and gives them workable paradigms for parenting.
Your teens live in another world. They encounter different sorts
of challenges than you did. But you can learn how to help them
navigate our increasingly superficial, politicized, and
performance-driven world.
Authors Chap and Dee Clark are not only youth and family experts,
they’re also parents. In Disconnected, they put their years of
research and experience to work to help you understand your teen.
This up-to-date, realistic book doesn’t ignore the harsh realities
of adolescent life. It describes how things have changed since you
were a teen and gives you ways to build your relationship with your
teens while instilling in them the values they need to thrive in a
MySpace world.
