The document discusses addictive behaviors in adolescence. It notes that the adolescent period between childhood and adulthood is a transitional stage where adolescents need support from adults to help complete their development in a healthy way. Adolescents are those between the ages of 13-18 years old. The document emphasizes some of the important psychological crises during adolescence, including formation of identity and individual personality traits. It also lists some of the needs of adolescents, such as a sense of inner peace, love, acceptance, sexual gratification, attention from the opposite sex, freedom and independence to learn about themselves. The document stresses the importance of understanding adolescents, their feelings and moods, in order to properly support them through this developmental period.
Adolescence is a time of growth and maturation in the brain, and it is also a time when many new behaviours begin to emerge (most of which irritate and frustrate parents!). These changes include changes in attention, in motivation and in risk-taking behaviour. Surprisingly, many of these behaviours are a direct result of brain changes, and are completely NORMAL!

Prenatal exposure to alcohol causes irreparable brain damage creating "swiss cheese brains" with gaps and impaired functionality. Infant maltreatment and neglect post birth exacerbates the challenges. Using 4 avatars to illustrate typical scenarios Helen Oakwater raises issues, questions and offers some reframing for parents and professionals. Bottom line. DO NOT CONSUME ANY ALCOHOL IF AT RISK OF PREGNANCY otherwise you condemn your child (and yourself) to a tougher life with learning and health issues from birth to death.

Why do adopted children need a different kind of parenting? With the majority of children adopted from the care system coming from an abusive or neglectful background, it is unsurprising that many struggle to overcome the consequences of this difficult start to life. The Wall illustrates how unmet physical and emotional needs early in life affect children’s later development, requiring different parenting techniques and support for adoptive parents.

Presentation to Hertfordshire teachers _ Why do adopted and fostered children struggle?
For some children (especially adopted and fostered) their erratic and challenging behaviour results from their maltreatment or neglect in infancy. These children have difficulties because they experienced severe neglect, repeated abuse, domestic violence or chaos which interrupted and derailed their normal developmental path and brain wiring.
Similar to adult PTSD the legacy of infancy trauma causes them to act in apparently nonsensical ways. Consequently parents and carers feel inadequate and use ineffective parenting and behaviour management strategies.
As a Parent
- Frustrated from kids not listening?
- Tired from yelling at the people you love the most?
- Exhausted from feeling everything being a battle?
Being a parent is one of the most challenging roles we will ever have in our lives and unfortunately our contemporary society gives absolutely no training on how to be a good parent. We all love our kids but from my experience the ABC’s of parenting which are the love, common sense and natural instinct were not enough for me to help me raise my kids in a way that was serving them.
Learning the EFG’s of Parenting helped me transform my life and the lives of parents who learn them.
This presentation details why many teens suffer from there everyday problems from drugs to relationships and also gives way to how to find sobriety from these "addictions" teens face whether considered real addictions or not they are in our world.

Transition from Adolescence to Adulthood Mental Health and Emotional Well Beingvinaygupta494270
Adolescence is a stage of life characterized by changes in young people’s physical, cognitive, and social and emotional development.
Depression, anxiety and behavioural disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents.
Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29 year-olds.
Adolescence is a crucial period for developing social and emotional habits important for mental well-being. Emotional disorders
are common among adolescents like Anxiety, Depression, Suicide. Behavioural disorders are more common among younger adolescents than older adolescents. Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, commonly emerge during adolescence and young adulthood. Conditions that include symptoms of psychosis most commonly emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. Symptoms can include hallucinations or delusions. A wide range of early risk and protective factors influence mental health outcomes.

attempted suicide, depression and hi-risk sexual behaviors.
• parents can do is to keep their children from starting to smoke.
• Parents need to talk with their children about the harmful effects of smoking
• Try to never use tobacco in front of your children, and don’t leave it where they can easily get to it.
• Talk about ways to say “no” to tobacco use, even if the child/teen has a friend who is already smoking.
• If the parent discovers that the child is already using tobacco, try to avoid threats .
• Find out why your child is smoking or using other forms of tobacco. Is smoking an attention seeking device or a way to
fit in with peers? Show an interest in understanding your child/teens motivation for smoking and find ways to help
them quit.
• If they are trying to stop, be supportive and offer some tips, such as deep breathing, drinking water, talking about the
craving and looking for alternative, healthy activities.

37. • In the hours following cannabis use, observed cognitive impairment involves attention, reaction time,
working memory, and executive function.
• “acting out” behaviours (attempted suicide, bulimia, unsafe sexual behaviours, etc.) due to lowered
inhibition.
• This cognitive impairment tends to disappear within a month of stopping use. In adolescents, some of
this impairment may persist, including after weaning, especially if use began before the age of 15
years. Long-term cognitive impairment is observed in proportion to dose, frequency, duration of
exposure and age at first use of cannabis.
• Regular use of cannabis has long-term effects that may affect school results and personal
relationships.
• precipitate psychiatric disorders (anxiety disorders, depression, symptoms of psychosis and
schizophrenia) in adolescents. This risk influenced by certain genetic factors, age of exposure and pre-
existing vulnerability to psychosis (family history).

38. ALCOHOL USE
• among adolescents, especially massive intoxication, has more marked neurotoxic
effects on the brain, both at the structural level (the production of new
neurons/neurogenesis) and the functional level, as reflected by a greater
interference with cognitive function (learning/memory). It has been documented
that the morphological and functional impacts are greater for girls than for boys
of the same age. The deficits observed in the medium term are proportional to
the quantity of alcohol consumed.
• Young people are less sensitive to the “negative” effects of alcohol (drowsiness,
hypothermia, lack of motor coordination, etc.), but are more receptive to effects
experienced as “positive” (disinhibition, facilitation of social interaction, etc.).

contain amphetamine-like chemicals. teens can easily access them by ordering online, so monitor Internet
activity.
• Cough syrup is another way teens are getting high. Robotripping has become a scary trend among teens who
are drinking multiple bottles of cough syrups, such as Robotussin, to get a high from the active ingredient
dextromethorphan (DXM).
•
fragrance of potpourri,This fragrant spice and flower mixture that is often found in the bathroom at Grandma’s
house is actually being smoked by teens. In addition to paranoia and hallucinations, it’s also known to cause
dangerous heart palpitations.
• air conditioner! If it’s been breaking down a lot, you may just want to investigate. A current trend involves teens
prying open the machines with screwdrivers and smoking the Freon that gives air conditioners their cooling
ability. The results are slurred speech, frostbite, and even brain damage.
• Dust Off. This popular keyboard cleaner can be used for “dusting,” but not just your keyboard! “Dusting” in the
substance abuse world is snorting the gas of keyboard dusters to get high.
• Whip-Its, which are basically any aerosol spray cans of whipped cream, are an easy way for teens to get their
hands on nitrous oxide, more commonly known as laughing gas. This is the same substance sometimes used by

44. ‘SELFIE’
A MENTAL DISORDER
– The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has officially confirmed what many
people thought all along: taking ‘selfies’ is a mental disorder.
The APA made this classification during its annual board of directors meeting in
Chicago. The disorder is called selfitis, and is defined as the obsessive
compulsive desire to take photos of one’s self and post them on social media as a
way to make up for the lack of self-esteem and to fill a gap in intimacy.
APA said there are three levels of the disorder:
Borderline selfitis : taking photos of one’s self at least three times a day but not
posting them on social media
Acute selfitis: taking photos of one’s self at least three times a day and posting each
of the photos on social media
Chronic selfitis: Uncontrollable urge to take photos of one’s self round the clock and
posting the photos on social media more than six times a day
