Therapists John and Linda Friel have written a book for teens based on the same formula as their previous book, 'The 7 Worst Things Good Parents Do'. This book includes the seven worst things even smart and outwardly successful teens do, and shows teens how they can change these behaviours and assure their success in life as they grow towards adulthood.
The book is written expressly for teens as a unique roadmap into adulthood. It is designed to stimulate the brain as well as the heart because teenagers who listen to both can eventually negotiate adolescence successfully. It will appeal to teenagers who like to think, wonder, and question and challenge, as well as to teenagers who feel that they haven't quite figured out this "life" thing.
The Friels show teenagers the seven things they can do in order to overcome common roadblocks they face or will face. These are:
- Become competent and build self-esteem
- Master your feelings - don't let your feelings run the show
- Break the silence - don't silently scream, instead of making yourself known
- Get healthy power - don't avoid learning about power
- Face the serious stuff - don't hide the really important things you're experiencing
- Find an identity - don't avoid the struggle to find yourself
- Learn to stake out the extremes - don't live only in the extremes
Written in clear, straightforward language and including many interesting and colourful story interludes, this book is easy to use and a powerful tool for teens.
