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.

In diesem Hörbuch stellen die Gefühlsexperten Dr. Udo Baer und Dr. Gabriele Frick-Baer rund 60 Gefühle von Angst, Eifersucht, Liebe über Neid, Scham, Trauer bis hin zu Vertrauen und Zuversicht vor. Dabei folgen sie der Vorstellung, jedes dieser Gefühle sei ein individuelles Wesen, das sie befragen: Wer bist du, was sind deine versteckten Seiten? Wofür bist du gut, was ist dein Sinn und Nutzen?

Was Eltern für ihre Kinder tun können bei Mobbing & Stalking. Mobbing- und Stalkingerfahrungen unter Kindern und Jugendlichen sind weit verbreitet in der Schule, den digitalen Medien, aber auch zwischen Geschwistern. Viele Kinder schweigen aus Scham, auch ihren Eltern gegenüber. Diese wiederum sind verunsichert, ob Mobbing oder z. B. ein normaler Konflikt vorliegt. Der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater und Psychotherapeut Michel Elpers bietet nicht nur für Eltern sowohl Hilfestellung zur Prävention, dem Erkennen von versteckten Anzeichen für Mobbing sowie Entlastung und Auswege bei konkreten Vorfällen.

Every child is different, and not every child will communicate in the same way.

So kommen Familien gut durch die Pubertät - Wenn Kinder in die Pubertät kommen und sich immer deutlicher abgrenzen, gibt es in Familien oft Diskussionen, Rückzug, Wut und Streit.
