Dear Sir/Madam,
We are researchers from Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development (RGNIYD), Sriperumbudur, (Institution under the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India) inviting you to participate in a study on Positive Youth Development.
As part of the research, we are conducting focus group discussions with youth (15-25) who are in their high school/college/university level education and among middle-aged adults (40-65) who are dealing with young people in their professional positions such as school/college teacher/youth worker/skills trainer/juvenile social worker/counselor, etc., who lives in India.
If you are coming under the above criteria and interested in sharing your views on the developmental assets/features/ characteristics that are required by youth to become healthy, well-adapted, and successful adults. You may give your consent by filling out the form for further communication. Thanking you in advance. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd9eM4h-rsExK3fErcKu6G-IYefULB7tHSTIXNSJtn87xRqmQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
I adopted three American Indian children. In adolescence and young adulthood the number one problem is alcohol and drug abuse. therefore, strong impulse control is the most important characteristic for them. I am also a licensed psychologist and have worked with many American Indian youth. If attachment is secure impulse control is usually intact. Dr. Mark Beischel
Thank you Mark Louis Beischel. Yes sir, alcohol and drug abuse are very important concerns that are progressive in Indian youth. and the alarming part is unlike in earlier days youth are developing a neutralization attitude towards the risky behaviors. "Attachment" will be a great asset. But can the assumption of PYD " instead of concentrating on fixing the problem. will only concentrating on the positive asset" can address the problem? Thank you for the input.
Repair of impulse control is often improved with teaching youth to use self-talk in situations that demand more self-control. The ultimate healing is done through getting youths in positive relationships with mentors, etc. This is apparently how Helen Keller got past her lack of impulse control in childhood through a positive relationship with a Anne Sullivan.
