Abstract: This publication intends to describe the stresses, constraints, and physiological changes that profoundly affect early adolescents for physicians, nurses, mental health professionals, social workers, educators, and concerned parents. Some of the topics addressed include: the effects of poverty, divorce and remarriage as major deterrents and/or facilitators of development; the processes involved in the normal or perturbed onset of puberty; emergent sexuality within the social context; health issues such as sexually transmitted diseases; school performance and linguistic competence; and, psychosocial maladjustment. The contributors offer specific approaches for dealing effectively with physiological and psychological transitions.

Download The Promise of Adolescence Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Adolescenceâ€"beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€"is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€"rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.

Download Family Transitions Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This volume, the result of the second annual Summer Institute sponsored by the Family Research Consortium, focuses on family transitions--both normative and non-normative. The subject of family transitions has been a central concern of the consortium largely because studies of families in motion help to highlight mechanisms leading to adaptation and dysfunction. This text represents a collective effort to understand the techniques individuals and families employ to adapt to the pressing issues they encounter along their life course.

Download Transitions Through Adolescence Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The adolescent period has attracted much attention as an ideal period for investigating interactive models incorporating biological maturation with intra- and interpersonal development. The focus of this volume is on adolescent transitions in three domains: the peer system, the family system, and school and work contexts. Its goal is to highlight specific aspects of innovative research programs and initiatives, and look forward to future directions in the field. Because interest in adolescence has spanned the disciplines, this volume reflects a multidisciplinary perspective--presenting research and methods from life-span development, sociology, anthropology, and education to provide exemplars of the range of approaches used in understanding the processes and transitions of adolescent development. These exemplars encompass the breadth not only of the investigation of adolescence--from survey research on drug use to ethnographic studies of involvement in criminal activities--but also of individual differences in the experience of adolescent transitions--from the transition to college and work in White, middle-class youth to the work experiences of urban, African-American high school students. The chapters collected here offer a rich sample of the diversity of research experience with an emphasis on in-depth investigation of adolescent transitions. The volume will serve as a resource to investigators across several disciplines as it identifies approaches and recent findings from alternate fields.

Download Nature, Nurture, and the Transition to Early Adolescence Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Some of the most intriguing issues in the study of cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development arise in the debate over nature versus nurture. The Colorado Adoption Project (CAP) is the only adoption study in existence examining development continuously from birth to adolescence. This book is the fourth in a series describing CAP results. This latest volume builds on the large body of research already generated by investigating the role of genes and environments on early adolescent development. (Midwest).

The Carnegie Corporation's Council on Adolescent Development builds on the work of many organizations and individuals to stimulate sustained public attention to the risks and opportunities of adolescence, and generates public and private support for measures that facilitate the critical transition to adulthood. This document explores some of the risks of adolescence--which encompasses ages 11 and 12 in early adolescence and 17 and 18 in late adolescence. The report also gives recommendations for meeting the essential requirements of healthy adolescent development and adapting pivotal institutions to foster healthy adolescence.

(1) "Early Adolescence: The Great Transition"; (2) "Growing Up in Early Adolescence: An Emerging View"; (3) "Old Biology in New Circumstances: The Changing Adolescent Experience"; (4) "Reducing Risks, Enhancing Opportunities: Essential Requirements for Healthy Development"; (5) "Reengaging Families with Their Adolescent Children"; (6) "Educating Young Adolescents for a Changing World"; (7) "Promoting the Health of Adolescents"; (8) "Strengthening Communities with Adolescents"; and (9) "Redirecting the Pervasive Power of Media." The report concludes with an epilogue on sustaining the perspectives of the Council of Adolescent Development.
