Junior High Appropriate

I bought this book to use with my junior higher. I am a credentialed school counselor and found this book to be on the "light" side. It is too low level for high school students, but just about right for a junior high student. I recommend using the book over the summer as a way to clarify who you are and what areas you may want to explore further.

Parents who want their teens to open up...get this book!

I bought this book to use as a text for a class for my son who I homeschool. Not only is it a conversation starter but we have learned so much about ourselves and each other. It comes with a CD that has the teen text which you can have your child read either on the computer or just by printing it out. There are surveys to complete throughout the text to help you and your teen delve into how God has wired them uniquely to be the person He wants them to be. There are suggestions for sitting down together over "something" (coffee, pizza, doughnuts,etc.) at the end of each chapter and talking. I would recommend this book to homeschoolers as well as parents who just want to draw closer to their teen or who want to help their teen find out what their strengths are, how God may use them in life, and how to have confidence in the personalities that the Lord blessed them with!!
