Download or read book Dad, If You Only Knew... written by Josh Weidmann and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2011-11-02 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listen Up, Dads! Your Teen Is Talking to You! As exasperating as parenting can be during these volatile years, your teen is depending on you for steady faithfulness, love, and guidance. And because teens often find words elusive and expression difficult, they probably haven’t told you the things they wish you somehow automatically knew. So let Dad, If You Only Knew... be your guide. Josh Weidmann, just out of the teen years himself, joins his father, James, to help dads understand where their kids are coming from. It’s a messy world they live in, and meeting them in it is no simple task. But knowing these essentials now makes fatherhood eight times easier! Welcome to Your Teen’s World It doesn’t matter if you have the most picture-perfect, ideal-in-every-way teen or one who’s in full-swing rebellion. That teen you love is a “riddle wrapped in a mystery.” No father can know what his teen is really thinking. That’s why youth communicator Josh Weidmann teamed with his father, Jim, to help you bridge the gap. In Dad, If You Only Knew…you’ll get an open, honest glimpse inside the teen mind. Josh’s extensive research, combined with pointed direction from a father’s heart, provide you with the practical guidance you need to establish a healthy, thriving father-teen relationship. It’s one you desire, your teen needs, and you both can’t afford to miss. Story Behind the Book “The resounding cry of teens for their fathers rings in my ear. I have been speaking to youth for five years and the greatest void I see in teens’ lives is the one left by their dad. I am only twenty-three years old myself, and to this day I can say that my dad is the most influential man in my life. Because of his impact, I have asked him share in this book. We have written this message in hopes of helping dads reengage in the vital father-teen relationship.” —Josh Weidmann

Download or read book Multicultural Counseling with Teenage Fathers written by Mark S. Kiselica and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1995-08-03 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the very few books to offer mental health professionals an in-depth, practical guide to dealing with teenage fathers, it also provides something that has rarely been attempted before, an appreciation of the problem from a multicultural perspective that takes into account both universal and culture-specific points of view. . . . This book is a significant addition to the sparse teenage-father literature. --Child & Family Behavior Therapy "Social service providers, scholars, and policymakers interested in the dilemmas facing teenage fathers should find this easy-to-read book a valuable resource. . . . The most impressive aspect of this book is that Mark S. Kiselica provides numerous and detailed recommendations . . . to address every imaginable issue service providers might face . . . when dealing with teenage fathers and their families. This book is therefore a valuable contribution to the burgeoning literature on teenage pregnancy." --William Marsiglio, Ph.D., University of Florida "Thanks to Mark S. Kiselica′s book, we now have a weapon that . . . helps practitioners win the battle of keeping teenage fathers in school, in counseling, and in a positive relationship with their children. . . . This book provides the best help possible for practitioners working with unwed adolescent fathers and helps future generations avoid the pitfalls and tragedies that create unmarried paternity." --from the Foreword by Leo E. Hendricks, Ph.D., Researcher on Adolescent Fathers "Mark S. Kiselica has produced an excellent volume that challenges and transcends harmful stereotypes about teenage fathers. . . . This well-conceived and well-presented book substantially advances our understanding and practice with a poorly served clientele." --Harold E. Cheatham, Ph.D., The Pennsylvania State University "I think this book is a real contribution to the field. It provides insight into . . . the issues faced by young fathers . . . as well as . . . practical advice for addressing these issues." --Sally Brown, Project Director, The Maine Young Fathers Project An up-to-date and in-depth guide for dealing with teenage fathers, this volume provides a framework for responding to not only the general but also the culturally specific needs of any given unwed teen father. Offering perceptive solutions, the author significantly contributes to the existing literature on how to help teenage men who face unplanned, out-of-wedlock fatherhood by providing clear and concise guidance within the web of legal, family, and personal issues surrounding teenage fatherhood. The book examines the role of the teenage father′s relationships--to his parents, his child, the mother of his child and her parents, and his peers--as they relate to his adjustment and changing worldview. While sensitive to cultural considerations, author Mark S. Kiselica illuminates ways in which to encourage teenage fathers to take control of their lives and act responsibly, regardless of cultural background. Giving due attention to the teenage father and the issues he faces, this volume provides valuable information and strategies for all helping professionals--including counselors, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, ministers, nurses, early childhood professionals, teachers, and administrators--who work with teenage parents. "Turning the coin from the more familiar side of committed, sensitive service generally available to unwed teenage mothers, author Mark S. Kiselica has produced an excellent volume that challenges and transcends harmful stereotypes about teenage fathers. Combining research findings with his clinical experience with this population, Kiselica provides a profile of the common needs of the teenage male. In turn, he provides dynamic perspectives on the common and culturally distinct experiences and needs of the teenage father. Ultimately, through case studies, Kiselica provides additional insights and strategies that will guide professional interventions that replace the commonplace, indifferent, or punitive responses to the teenage male facing the dilemma of addressing his roles and responsibilities in an unplanned, out-of-wedlock pregnancy. This well-conceived and well-presented book substantially advances our understanding and practice with a poorly served clientele." --Harold E. Cheatham, The Pennsylvania State University

Book excerpt: Find out what it’s like to be young, African-American . . . and a father Voices of African-American Teen Fathers is an insightful look at adolescent pregnancy and parenthood through the eyes of fathers aged 14 to 19. This unique book features candid interviews with thirty teens who talk about “doing what I got to do”—handling their responsibilities as best they can given their perceptions, limitations, and life experiences. Teens talk about how and why they became fathers, how they handle being a parent, their perceptions of fatherhood, the relationships they have with their parents and the mothers of their children, and how they deal with the everyday struggles, demands, and concerns they face. Nearly one million girls between the ages of 15 and 19 become pregnant each year in the United States and most of the available research on adolescent parenthood focused on them. We know little about African-American adolescent fathers or about their perspectives on the cultural and socioeconomic conditions that define their experience. Voices of African-American Teen Fathers provides an understanding of these young fathers on their own terms and suggests theoretical frameworks, assessment tools, and effective interventions to develop a plan of action to help African-American adolescent fathers fulfill their roles. Helpful appendixes, including an interview guide and biographies of the particpants, are included, as are six tables that make complex information easy to access and understand. Voices of African-American Teen Fathers examines tough issues, including: intimate, amicable, or antagonistic relationships with their children’s mothers relationships with their own mothers and fathers racism and discrimination child support loss of independence transportation problems drugs socioeconomic issues and much more Voices of African-American Teen Fathers is an invaluable resource for counselors, family educators, social service organizations, community practitioners, and social scientists.

Download or read book He's Not Lazy written by Adam Price and published by Union Square & Co.. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Clinical psychologist Price offers one of the most significant books of the year in this new look at an old problem—the underperforming teenage boy… Price’s book brings an important voice to a much needed conversation.” —Library Journal (Starred review) On the surface, capable teenage boys may look lazy. But dig a little deeper, writes child psychologist Adam Price in He’s Not Lazy, and you’ll often find conflicted boys who want to do well in middle and high school but are afraid to fail, and so do not try. This book can help you become an ally with your son, as he discovers greater self-confidence and accepts responsibility for his future. Why are some teenage boys unmotivated? Why do they spend endless hours playing video games or glued to their phones and social media sites instead of studying? Is this a sign of laziness or something more troubling? As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Adam Price has found that teenage boys are extremely sensitive to the stress of our competitive achievement-oriented culture—one that has created a pressure cooker for today’s adolescent. In He’s Not Lazy, Dr. Price, a renowned expert on ADHD and learning disabilities, explains how to help a boy who is not lazy, but rather, is conflicted about trying his best. Dr. Price will guide you to discover hidden obstacles to your son’s success, set expectations, and empower him to accept responsibility for his own future. He’s Not Lazy will help you become your son’s ally, as he discovers greater self-confidence and becomes more self-reliant. Rather than reacting to pressure by shunning academic responsibilities altogether or propping up fear-based rebellion with justifications like “I am not going to be one of those nerds who have no life,” or “Tests don’t measure intelligence or help you learn, so what’s the point of studying for them?” your teenage son can work with you using the guidance in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Kiselica dispels many of the myths surrounding teenage fatherhood and shows that, contrary to popular belief, these young men are often emotionally and physically involved in relationships with their partner and their child. But without support and guidance from adults, these relationships often deteriorate in the first year of the child's life. Kiselica offers advice for professionals and policy-makers that calls for support groups led by caring male role models, bonding through sport before counseling begins, and peer-based recruitment"--Publisher description.

Book excerpt: You're a smart guy. You read The Perfect Storm and now you find yourself living it. Your daughter, who yesterday was happy to hang out with you at Home Depot, now cries for no known reason. Last week you were her soccer coach and 'the best dad there ever was, really, ' and today on the way home from practice she turned away and stared sadly out the window and wouldn't say a word to you. She's hovering around adolescence and all of a sudden you're flopping on the daddy-deck in a panic. What the heck is about to happen and how are you going to get through this? How can you help her get through these difficult years when honestly, you don't totally understand it yourself? If you're a single dad, it can get all the more complicated. You might not know who or where to go to for the real deal, the inside scoop. When did her body start to change? Where the heck do you buy a training bra, and when? Do you have to take her or can you pay someone else to do it? What about dating? Or the girl clique thing you've heard about. Can't you just ignore it and raise her just like you would a son, just like you were raised? This book is for any man raising a tween or teen daughter, but particularly the single man who does or doesn't have full-time custody. This is the definitive guide to helping dad and daughter get past 'survive' and onto 'thrive.' Written for any man raising daughters, the authors geared this book for the single dad who may not have a woman in his life with whom to confer about issues their daughters may be facing like sex, friendships, boyfriends, alcohol and drugs, and personal hygiene. This book covers it all, from what to keep stocked in the bathroom to how to talk about sex without being blown off. The authors help dads gain a better sense of what their daughters are going through, how their bodies are changing, how their relationships are changing, and how best to handle the ups and downs of these challenging years.
