Documenting how teens are isolated from adults and are forced to look to their media-dominated peers for knowledge, this discussion contends that by infantilizing young people, society does irrevocable harm to their development and well-being. Instead, parents, teachers, employers, and others must rediscover the adults in young people by giving them authority and responsibility as soon as they exhibit readiness. Teens are highly capable--in some ways more than adults--and this landmark discussion offers paths for reaching and enhancing the competence in America's youth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2641048\"\u003eRobert Epstein\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quill Driver Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781884995590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1884995594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PSY\"\u003ePsychology\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PSY002000\"\u003eDevelopmental | Adolescent\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FAM\"\u003eFamily \u0026amp; Relationships\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FAM003000\"\u003eLife Stages | Adolescence\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobert Epstein, PhD, is the former editor in chief of \"Psychology Today,\" a contributing editor to \"Scientific American Mind,\" and the host of the radio show \"Psyched!\" A visiting scholar at the University of California-San Diego and former university research professor at the California School of Professional Psychology, he is the founder and director emeritus of the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies and the developer of many parenting, adolescence, and other competency tests.
