  3. HIGHLIGHTS: •  Many 15-year-olds report difficulty talking with their mothers and fathers about • things that really bother them. •  Adolescents who live with two parents are more likely to have parents who • know their whereabouts after school. •  Hispanic parents are less likely than white and black parents to know who most • of their adolescent’s friends are. •  Foreign-born adolescents are more likely than their native-born peers to eat • meals with their family. •  Adolescents with better-educated parents are less likely to be exposed to • smoking and heavy drinking by their parents. •  Adolescents whose parents exercise are less likely to b sedentary themselves

  4. INTRODUCTION: • By action and by example, parents shape the lives of their children from birth through • adulthood. In adolescence, the influence of friends and peers take on greater importance, but • research clearly demonstrates the continued significance of parents in shaping the behaviors • and choices of teens as they face the challenges of growing up. • 1 • Close parent/adolescent relationships, good parenting skills, shared family activities and • positive parent role modeling all have well-documented effects on adolescent health and • development. • 2,3,4 • These are also areas where parents can make choices to make positive • changes for their children, and where social policy can help support parents in taking such

  5. STEPS • In this brief, we report data on teens’ experiences in their families with a particular focus on • differences across social groups. Our purpose is to identify where disparities exist and where • needs for intervention are greatest. • We end with a brief discussion on the implications for • parenting and for policy. • Stressful jobs, recession money woes and unrelenting pressure from family and social duties can turn even the most cheerful person into an anxious pessimist with little motivation. But positivity is all in your mind, and once you understand

  6. your mood and your outlook on the life is something you can actually control, you’ll be more ready to tackle any challenges that life hurtles your way. Here are ten little tips that will help you turn negatives into positives, ultimately letting you lead a life with less worry.

  7. POSITIVES • Speak in the positive. Even if you have to convey a negative thought or emotion, say it in the positive. For example, instead of saying or thinking “I can’t get through this,” say, “I’m lost” or “I need help.” Speaking in the negative just reiterates your negative feelings. • Rethink obstacles. Try to view problems as something you can work through, instead of obstacles that prevent you from getting what you want. Just because your first plan of action didn’t work, doesn’t mean there isn’t another way.

  8. Avoid ultimatums. The more pressure you put on yourself and other people, the more out of control you’ll feel. Ultimatums also tend to make small issues blow up into problems that cause more trouble than they’re worth. • Force yourself to smile or laugh. Release a little positive energy by smiling at someone or telling a joke. • Remember the things you’re good at. If your job is killing you, think of all the things you’re actually good at, like fly fishing, listening to others or painting.

  9. Reach out to others. You don’t have to see a therapist to reap the benefits of talking about your problems. Friends and family can also give you another perspective on your problem that will help you get through the tough times. • Sleep on it. If you just can’t see around an obstacle, put it aside until after you get a good rest. • Start more sentences with “I can.” Try to turn as many “I can’ts” into “I cans” each day. • Reduce your stress level. Try to reduce your stress level by doing one positive thing each day, by giving yourself a little more free time, going to bed early, or visiting with friends.

  10. Figure out how your problems will pan out in the long term.Will this problem still be a major issue in 3 weeks, 6 months, or one year? Gauge your reaction to problems by asking yourself how important and relevant they are to your life
