Teens Can Make It Happen
I bought this book for my son who is now approaching his high
school graduation. It has been a difficult year for him but as
a parent I feel that he is the type of person who needs to go
through several life lessons to learn. In going through the
chapters and Q&A after each chapter, he was able to see things
from different sides versus a knee-jerk response. I review his
responses and it has been a BIG eye-opener into his thinking, his
concerns, goals etc. More revealing than any dinner conversation
we have ever had. I would highly recommend this book as a tool for your teen to set goals and as a tool for a parent to learn more about your teens thought

UNDERSTANDING WHO YOU ARE!
Stedman Graham's book is both powerful and practical.He meets teens on their own turf, and seeks to empower them by helping them believe in themselves. Mastering the "rules of the road" is essential. His tips include discipline, good attitudes, working hard on the things you are passionate about, overcoming procrastination, and understanding who you are. He emphasizes the value of who you are is how people identify you. He warns of the pitfalls inherent in today's society; that is, people telling you what you can't do, - and people inflicting their pain on you. He understands that there are people who will always try to "knock you down", but stresses that you can be successful based on yourself. "Sometimes the things you don't do are more important than what you do do", he offers, and further implores teens to do what adds value to you. Mr Stedman's concept of a responsible partnership between parents, the system and the child is commendable. After you finish this remarkable perspective, read "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff", by Richard Carlson. Both books are survival fare with a focus on teens, but anyone of any age wcould benefit from the information they contain.
