Tools For Teen Transformation Lillie Streeter Williams

This book is more than a self-help book for teens and young adults. It's a game-changer! Its accessible and engaging interactive workbook design will challenge and empower them to make well-reasoned decisions leading to happier and more successful lives. The adults, (parents or guardians) in their lives, will love it too! After fully engaging in this material, parents, pastors, teachers, and even teen themselves have reported transformational thinking and behavioral changes. Although it is written primarily for young people, ages 13 through 21 years-of-age, Parent-Teen assignments, and related tools are integral resources designed to open communication, build trust, and gain understanding. This book is an excellent choice for teachers and youth leaders in faith-based and educational settings. The research-based activities are the result of my training, and over 30 years of experience working with young people as a teacher, administrator, minister, and community leader. Tools for Teen Transformation engages the teen and young adult reader by addressing relevant issues, using authentic scenarios, and by offering ways to practice as they learn. Through short writing exercises and real-world scenarios, the teen or young adult develops strategies to handle issues they face at home, at school, and in their communities. Tools for Teen Transformation offers an authoritative framework of workable options which encourage teens to make life-affirming choices. It invites them to engage their parents and other adults in this learning process on their way to self-reliance. As a result of using the "tools" in this book, teens will learn how to love themselves, how to make better decisions, how to manage their relationships, and how to lead a life with less stress and greater competence. They will decrease destructive behaviors as their self-esteem rises. They will learn more about themselves and how to navigate in the world around them. These tools will help bring generations closer together by giving parents or guardians, grandparents, and even great grandparents talking points and opportunities to connect, learn, and have fun through role-playing, reflective exercises, and storytelling with their teens and young adults.
