A Mile Wide and an Inch Deep: America's Shallow Approach to Adolescence

A Mile Wide and an Inch Deep: America's Shallow Approach to Adolescence

Bret a. Stephenson Ma

A Mile Wide and an Inch Deep is the first metaphor used in this different way of looking at adolescence in America. While many are caught up in recent literature about teen brain function and cognitive development, sometimes people just need a bigger perspective to understand the smaller behaviors. This is the goal of A Mile Wide... Adolescence is the second greatest growth phase we ever go through, second only to birth-to-two years old. Over just a couple of years, kids radically change body shapes and sizes, their perception of the world and their role in it, they begin breaking away from the family, they create a stronger attachment to peers, and acquire a taste for more adult behavior. They are sexually capable and active. They experiment with other behaviors that scare us adults but that we likely indulged in ourselves in our own youth. What seems to bother most people about adolescence is its testing process, which many people refer to as defiant or rebellious. I don't think that is completely accurate, at least in early adolescence. It is not that teens begin by merely flouting the rules, but it's more about them needing to see if the reality they have been taught as children really stands up to testing. They need to prove for themselves the ways of the world. If guided, as in a rite of passage model, then the testing is met with healthy resistance and accommodation, helping teens come to adult conclusions about the world and their role in it. For example, teens start shifting into adulthood when they learn the difference between the idealistic teen hope of the way the world should be versus the way it actually is. The trick is not to burst all their dreams and goals, and also not squelch their curiosity and subsequent growth from their behavior and experiences. After all, don't we learn our deepest and most important lessons from our mistakes? If we stop teens from being able to experiment and push the boundaries a bit, we deny them this growth opportunity. Of course, boundaries and consequences around their behavior have to happen to keep teens from getting too far out of control, but we must stop pathologizing teens for testing those boundaries. They are not wrong or bad by simple virtue of testing our norms and values. Too many people misunderstand the need to test and learn with some alleged plot to just be defiant and devious for fun. It may seem, or feel like that, but it is a necessary process. Since we all know that we learn many of our most important life lessons through our mistakes, we have to allow them enough room to slip and grow without totally shutting down their ability to experiment a bit. Adolescents serve a greater function in society than most adults realize. For much of the past hundred years, teens have been made more and more irresponsible, which now many adults sadly hold against teens. The attempt of this book is to give the reader a wide variety of ways to understand and think about the process and challenge of adolescence. The goal has been to give readers numerous ways to ponder this incredible developmental period, too often misunderstood. Twenty essays offer a unique view of the world of teens, and help explain many of the "Why do they do it?" questions so many adults dealing with teens have. Below are the chapter and essay titles from A Mile Wide and an Inch Deep Canaries in the Coal Mine The Zen of Adolescence The Drug of Distraction The Illusion of Control Adolescent Essence From Irresponsibility to Responsibility Cause and Effect Cultural Mirrors Boundaries are Like a Boxing Ring Adolescence is a Soccer Game Whetstones of Life I Think, Therefore I Deserve Labyrinth vs the Maze The Religion of Gangs Prisoners of War Persistence vs. Futility Information Overload or Overdose Attention Deficit Square Pegs and Round Holes Mythology of Adolescence

This is my first book since Life of a Roadie, the Gypsy in Me. It's more of a philosophical reflection on all my experiences, including the experience of writing my first book.I have always thought myself a philosopher, and many of my friends have called me a thinker. Not a stinker, but a thinker.In interviews, whether on the radio or on television, when the host would ask me, "Ronnie, why did you write your first book?" My answer always is that if I could just save the life of one person reading my book, then I have done my job.It's more of an expression, but my mantra has been, "Never give up, never give up, never give up " I have also said my first book has a bit of the original Rocky movie vibe, and woven throughout the book is the flavor of the Jimmy Stewart movie It's a Wonderful Life.It bothers me when I hear that someone has committed suicide, and my first thought is, if only they could have read my first book Now, here is my second book. Enjoy the read.As I said, reading the first book is recommended before going on this adventure where, like a lighthouse guiding ships on the mighty ocean, philosophy is lighting the way.Enjoy the sequel.

Is it possible to safeguard my emotional reserves and demonstrate superior customer service? YES Can I go home at the end of the day overflowing with optimism and pleasure instead of exhausted and wrung dry? YES Employees in Pain Management practices (or clinics) have it tough--with every single patient in pain. And grumpy. Short-tempered, too. Walk a Mile in My Shoes identifies your greatest workplace challenges. Three actionable Tools reduce your burdens, elevate your mood, increase job satisfaction, and reduce the "chafe" of those workplace challenges. Discover the right words, the simplest of methods, and learn to fill your own well even as you excel in your role with patients and meet their needs with compassion. This manual was developed to accompany a one-hour live training presentation by the same name. This book might substitute for the group training, as it contains most of the presentation's content, and in many sections, includes much more: video links, additional insights, quotes, room for personal lists, self assessment questions, space to write down epiphanies and discoveries. Are you a Pain Management Office administrator planning to train staff members? With your purchase of this workbook for each participant, and upon email request, the author will provide via email the PowerPoint presentation and training notes, as is, and free of charge. Kristin Holt, RN, brings "three sets of shoes" to the "shoe swap" of Walk A Mile in My Shoes. The point where these three shoes-or three defining experiences in her life-create ideal credibility. Her nursing specialty was Labor and Delivery, where she experienced firsthand what pain does to nice and gracious people. Then Pain knocked on her door, became an unwanted house guest, and two decades later, Kristin knows what it's like to live with severe chronic pain. As a Weight Watchers(TM) Receptionist, Leader, and ultimately, Territory Manager, superb customer care became paramount as Kristin trained hundreds of employees in customer care, and coached them to peak performance. Kristin Holt is a USA Today Bestselling Author of Sweet Romance set in the Victorian-era American West.

What if we're just skimming the surface?Christianity holds out the promise of a better way and a better day. So we've studied, joined more small groups, and checked all the boxes--yet, we're still hungry for more. What if the gospel we've come to know is even deeper than we ever imagined? What if the same gospel that works in us to change us continues to work through us to change everything else?Speaking from more than twenty years of experience working in the local church, Brandon Hatmaker leads us past the hurdles between our current lives and the lives we crave. He shows us how Jesus changes everything and how a greater understanding of the gospel leads to deeper faith, richer community, and more fulfilling purpose.
