Download The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans: How to Decode Their Behavior, Develop Unshakable Trust, and Raise a Respectable Adult AudioBook Free
A functional guide to understanding teens from best-selling author and global junior advocate Josh Shipp. In 2015, Harvard researchers found that every child who does well in the face of adversity has had at least one stable and committed marriage with a supportive adult. But Josh Shipp didn't need Harvard to know that. Once an at-risk foster youngster, he was headed directly for trouble until he fulfilled the man who modified his life: Rodney, the foster mother or father who refused to quit on Shipp and acquired him to believe in himself. Now, in The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans, Shipp shows most of us how to be that nurturing adult in a teenager's life. Stressing the need for compassion, trust, and encouragement, he reduces the phases of any teenage people from 6th to 12th grade, analyzing the changes, goals, and mentality of teenagers at each level. Shipp offers revelatory reports that take us inside the young brain and shares wisdom from top professionals and the most expert grown-ups. He also contains practice scripts that treat troublesome issues, including:
- Forgiveness: What do I really do when a young has been really hurt by someone and it's really not their problem?
- Communication: How do you get a teenager to speak to me? They just grunt.
- Trust: My young blew it. My trust is fully gone. Where do we go from here?
- Bullying: Help! A teen (or their good friend) has been harassed.
- Difficult and awkward discussions: Drugs. Fatality. Gender. Oh my.
