It's Your Decision by Al Foderaro,Denise Schmidt Pdf

Anna Francelli had a modest row home in a blue-collar town where her son Johnny and his friends hung out during their formative years in the sixties. They were good, fun-loving kids who did what kids do until they were gradually drawn into the troublesome events unfolding around them: a divisive war in Vietnam, raucous protests, and strained race relations. But through it all, Anna's home remained a refuge and, for a core of the boys, Anna became a pillar of strength for over forty years. Sweeping through almost half a century, Anna's Boys provides insight into the unique perspective of a baby boom generation that fought one war in its youth and, in later years, watched another develop in the Middle East. At times funny and heartwarming, at times moving and poignant, Anna's Boys tells a timeless story of personal commitment, loyalty, sacrifice and triumph, with characters you will learn to love, set in a small town that could very well be your own

Roots and Wings by Nandita Mishra Pdf

Do you remember the day you were told you were no longer a teenager, but ‘expected to be’ an adult? Kind of startling, wasn’t it…and paradoxically made you feel more like a ‘babe-in-the-woods’ than ever before! ‘Roots and Wings’ is an e-book about this transition we have all experienced. It can also be your new best friend if you have tweens and teens, who are growing faster than you can keep pace with! As parents, we use our own experiences as reference points… and they are generally outdated! ‘Roots and Wings’ is a bridge between the generations and holds time tested and trusted tenets about helping your children grow up without alienating them.

Making Good Choices by Purvis Atkinson Pdf

Making Good Choices is a life guide for teens. The premise of Choices is that there are a number of life lessons which, if they are understood and acted on early in a students life, can have a profound positive impact. This book reinforces values and moral behavior. Choices draws a distinct line between good and bad, helping students to understand the long term consequences of the two. It explains the importance of roles and relationships between a teen and his parents, siblings, friends and teachers. Choices takes the various tools available to the average young student and helps him chart a course of success in life. Choices should be read before, as preparation for, a book like What Color is Your Parachute. The difference between this book and What Color is Your Parachute is that it concentrates on the root causes of failure and unhappiness and not just the end goal of a good paying job. There are many reasons why some of us are not ready to zero in on the color of our parachute. This book is for those average students who first need to find their humanity, empathy, sense of community and self worth before they go blazing into the world. This book is for the student whose potential is not the concern of any other book.

Talking the Tough Stuff with Teens by Fiona Spargo-Mabbs Pdf

"They've always wanted me to be open and honest with them, I've spent years explaining stuff to them, and sometimes they still don't understand everything" - Milly, 16 "Your parents aren't actually hatching a plan to ruin your life..." Jim, 52 From minor matters (tidiness, homework, sleep) to big and important ones (relationships, mental ill health, drugs and alcohol), teenagers and their parents often struggle to talk to each other - and talking is key if your young person is facing new challenges as they leave childhood behind. A well-timed conversation, a listening ear, a non-judgemental and receptive attitude - all these can make an enormous and lasting impact on how safely and happily a teenager navigates this crucial stage of their development. Oh, if only it were that easy. It's not always easy to talk to your teenager, or for them to talk to you, but it is critical and may even be life-saving. This book draws extensively on hundreds of conversations that Fiona Spargo-Mabbs has conducted with young people and parents in focus groups and school and college workshops, to give a framework for tackling tough conversations about difficult things, without judgement or anger. It gives context and insight, based on the latest neuroscience findings on the teenage brain and, importantly, it gives hundreds of prompts and plenty of practical suggestions and strategies to make communication between parents and young people a two-way street that builds the foundations for a strong relationship with your adult child. Covering everything from the small stuff, like curfews and screen time, to the tough stuff of sex, self-harm and suicide, this is a warm, compassionate and important book that draws on lived experience and the lives of young people as they are, not as we think they might, or should, be.

The New Adolescence by Christine Carter Pdf

Parents of teenagers need a new playbook—one that addresses the new challenges they face today. Teens are growing up in an entirely new world, and this has huge implications for our parenting. Understandably, many parents are baffled by problems that didn't exist less than a decade ago, like social media and video game obsession, sexting, and vaping. The New Adolescence is a realistic and reassuring handbook for parents. It offers road-tested, science-based solutions for raising happy, healthy, and successful teenagers. Inside, you'll find practical guidance for: • Providing the support and structure teens need (while still giving them the autonomy they seek) • Influencing and motivating teenagers • Helping kids overcome distractions that hinder their learning • Protecting them from anxiety, isolation, and depression • Fostering the real-world, face-to-face social connections they desperately need • Having effective conversations about tough subjects--including sex, drugs, and money A highly acclaimed sociologist and coach at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center and the author of Raising Happiness, Dr. Christine Carter melds research—including the latest findings in neuroscience, sociology, and social psychology—with her own (often hilarious) real-world experiences as the mother of four teenagers.
