The New Adolescence

In The New Adolescence, Dr. Christine Carter, a sociologist and coach at UC Berkeley, explores the challenges parents face in raising teenagers and preteens in a world dominated by social media and technology. Drawing on research in neuroscience and sociology, along with her own experiences as a mother of four, she offers practical strategies to help young people cultivate joy, focus, and meaningful connections. The audiobook provides guidance on balancing structure with autonomy, managing distractions, and navigating difficult conversations around critical topics such as mental health, substance use, and finances.
