Five Dynamic Principles Every Teen and Young Adult Must Know and Practice to Be Confident, Happy, and Successful in Relationships, School, and Life.
Do you look around you and secretly envy teens who seem to have it all? We're not talking about money here... we're talking confidence, a positive attitude, and an array of practical skills that makes them seem mature beyond their years.
Do you feel crushed by all the many roles you have to fulfill-that of a perfect student, cool class member, ace athlete, loyal friend, giving family member... and more?
There are probably kids in your friend groups who feel the same.
Many teens have self-esteem issues. This is particularly true for girls, around seven in ten of which believe they are not good enough or don't measure up.
This may also be one of the reasons why anxiety and depression affect around 70 percent of teens in the US.
When you're a teen, it can feel like you have too many responsibilities but too little independence.
But know that you do have the power to turn your life around. It all depends on the work and commitment you are willing to invest in honing the practical and life skills you need to bring the very best version of yourself to the world.
And if you are a parent, you can empower your child, so they have a wide range of skills and the mindset they need to succeed at academics, make quality friendships, and enjoy a myriad of hobbies they feel passionate about.
This guide is specifically written to help teens and parents work together to discover:
● How seemingly boring tasks like cooking or doing the laundry are a source of empowerment and a fast track to maturity
● That exercise is more than about fitness; it is one of the most powerful means to pulverize anxiety and nip stress and depression in the bud
● Why teen brain development can make it harder to do things like control your impulses and emotions-and how you can outsmart your own brain
● How to rely on your faith as a rock so you feel like you are never alone
● Why anger is actually a good thing-and how to harness it to help you make necessary positive changes.
● The way that empathy, acceptance, and forgiveness can make you a more grateful and giving teen
● The important role that time management and priorities play in helping you achieve your goals
● 5 dynamic principles that will change your life forever
And much more.
You may feel that you are already too busy to add yet another commitment to your massive list of to-dos. However, every single exercise and suggestion in this book involves a relatively short time commitment in exchange for a far better life.
Imagine being able to cook, take care of a few things at home, communicate like a pro with friends and family, and know that your faith will ride you through even the toughest challenges in life.
