| Summary |
Harvard's Center on the DevelopingChild found that every kid who succeeds in the face of adversity has had at least one committed relationship with a supportive adult. But JoshShipp didn't need Harvard to understand that. Once an at-risk foster kid, he was facing down a bleak future that was likely toinclude prison or homelessness--until he met the grown-up who changed his life. Enter Rodney, the foster parent who refused to quit on Shipp andfinally got him to believe in himself. Now, in The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans, Shipp shows us how to be that sort of caring adult in a teenager'slife. Stressing the need for mutual respect, trust, and encouragement,he identifies three key mindsets crucial to understanding teens. He breaks down the distinct phases of teenage life, examiningthe challenges at each phase, and offers revelatory stories that take us deep inside the teen brain. |
