In Boys Adrift, Dr. Leonard Sax delves into the scientific literature and draws on more than 20 years of clinical experience to explain why boys and young men are failing in school and disengaged at home.

Pubertät ist, wenn Eltern anfangen, schwierig zu werden, sage die einen. Es sind alles nur die Hormone, sagen die anderen. Und was sagen Experten dazu? Zwei führende Hirnforscher erzählen in diesem Hörbuch, warum es überhaupt so etwas wie "Pubertät" gibt und was sich im Gehirn von 13 bis 15-Jährigen tut. Die beiden Psychiater gehen auf die Frage ein, warum junge Menschen fast über Nacht widerspenstig und für die Eltern so schwierig werden.

Unser Grundvertrauen in unsere Kinder ist viel entscheidender als die aktuellen Schulprobleme, oder andere Probleme. Was ist meine Haltung meinem Kind/meinem Jugendlichen gegenüber? Müssen sie alles machen so wie ich mir das vorstellen, und erst dann können meine Kinder mein Vertrauen haben? - Das ist eine wichtig philosophische Übung. Denn man muss sich auch als Kind/Jugendlicher fragen: Will ich meine Eltern zufrieden machen, oder finde ich meinen eigenen Weg?

Anstrengende Kinder besitzen besonders ausgeprägte Eigenschaften, die im Erwachsenenalter sehr geschätzt werden: Willensstärke, Ausdauer und Sensitivität. Bei Kindern und Jugendlichen führen diese Gaben oftmals zu Schwierigkeiten auf ihrem Weg durch Kindergarten, Schule und alle Institutionen, die Anpassung, Flexibilität und Selbstkontrolle erfordern. Ihre Erziehung führt Eltern immer wieder an ihre Grenzen und vor viele Fragen: Was kann ich tun, um meinem Kind eine unbeschwerte Kindheit zu ermöglichen?

Computersucht, Komasaufen, Schulmüdigkeit - selten gibt es positive Schlagzeilen über Jugendliche. Und das, obwohl die Mehrheit selbstbewusst, verantwortungsvoll und mit viel Eigeninitiative in die Welt startet. Mit Jugendjahre wollen Remo H. Largo und Monika Czernin Verständnis für die Jugendlichen und ihre schwierigen Entwicklungsaufgaben wecken und den Blick dafür schärfen, dass sie es sind, in deren Händen die Zukunft liegt.

Michela ha 16 anni ed è una studentessa diligente. Ma un giorno è tentata dall'idea di copiare il compito di italiano, ingannando i genitori e l'insegnante che tanto la stimano. È sabato sera e Riccardo ha appena preso la patente. Gli amici lo invitano a bere: ma lui è consapevole dei rischi che corre mettendosi alla guida dopo aver bevuto. Cosa fare? Sono due esempi di scelte che quotidianamente gli adolescenti affrontano, alle prese tra bisogni e desideri personali da un lato, e principi e norme dall'altro.

Perché gli adolescenti sono tristi? Da che cosa deriva il loro senso perenne di inadeguatezza nei confronti del mondo che li circonda? Come si articolano, e come si confrontano, esperienze psicopatologiche ed esperienze creative? Quali sono gli orizzonti problematici della psichiatria oggi? Sono inconciliabili tra loro, o sono possibili reciproche influenze? Sappiamo riconoscere il valore umano della malattia? Queste e altre domande articolano una riflessione sulle passioni fragili che appartengono alla nostra vita e alla nostra crescita.

Sfrontati e fragili, ostili e desiderosi di affetto, gli adolescenti rappresentano una sfida per gli adulti, ma soprattutto per loro stessi, alle prese come sono con la difficile costruzione del proprio io e del proprio ruolo sociale. Anche se alcuni drammatici fatti di cronaca sembrano insondabili è compito degli adulti capire. Ogni generalizzazione produce soltanto pregiudizi e la "miscela" dell'adolescenza, per non diventare esplosiva, richiede adulti coerenti nell'esempio e nella guida, capaci di attenzione e di rispetto.
