A refreshing perspective on adolescence

Read this book if you want to make a huge impact on the young people in your life! This important work is for parents, educators, mentors, youth pastors, social workers, counselors, and anyone else who works with kids. Young people today face a growing number of challenges to their healthy development. In this book Jay D'Ambrosio does an outstanding job of shedding light on those challenges, and he presents fresh and unique perspectives on how to address them through the use of story. Most books about adolescence cover the academic or physical development of kids, but with this book the author has addressed a huge area of child development that is often overlooked: the heart. Jay's ideas will change the way you connect with kids. As an educator and mentor, I refer back to this book frequently.
