The book first traces differences between the “rules of relating” for boys and girls and discusses typical and atypical patterns of experimentation in teens. The authors identify the common link among risk behaviors: the relationship connection. In the second part of the book, they examine the principles of successful programs used by schools and communities to cultivate healthy adolescent development. An illuminating conclusion describes the key ingredients for engaging adolescents, their parents, teachers, and communities in the effort to promote healthy, nonviolent relationships among teens.
"From the first sentence to the last, this book demonstrates a blend of intellect and compassion. It is well grounded, with one foot in the world of rigorous research guided by developmental theory, and the other in a keen appreciation for the realities of prevention and intervention programming with adolescents and families."—James Garbarino, PhD, author of Lost Boys and See Jane Hit
"The authors focus on adolescent relationships, a wise choice but a daunting domain, and these authors are up to the challenge. Their perspective on intervention offers promise that will hopefully turn into evidence."—Kenneth A. Dodge, Duke University
"An important work focusing on how we might more practically and effectively promote well-being among adolescents."—Patrick Tolan, Institute of Juvenile Research, Chicago
