Dr. John Duffy

a complete guide to your child's stressed, depressed, expanded, amazing adolescence

"Kids are growing up with nearly unlimited access to social media and eveything you can find on the internet. As a result, as early as eight years old, children are exposed to information, thoughts, and emotions that they are developmentally unprepared to process. Your typical "teen parenting" tactics for thirteen-year-olds is now years too late. Dr. Duffy...offers breakthrough advice for parents raising children who are growing up quickly and, as a result, are dealing with unresolved adolescent issues that can lead to anxiety and depression. Becuase of the exposure they deal with, kids are emotinally overwhelmed at a young age and are often continuing to search for a sense of self well ito their twenties. However, Dr. Duffy also expresses the good that comes with these challenges, such as the sense of justice instilled in teenagers starting at a young age."--Page 4 of cover
