Give Teens a Break!

This book stands alone in contemporary literature by offering a refreshing look at today s teens. John Morella uses research and his own experience as a family psychologist to present the myriad ways in which teens offer a positive contribution to society. He explains how adults can be overly critical, which creates a negative self-fulfilling prophecy and poor adult-teen relationships. He then outlines ways that teens, parents, teachers, and society as a whole can address this important issue. Both teenagers and adults can benefit from the wonderful advice sprinkled throughout the research on how to interact and build positive, lasting relationships. View teens in a new light, gain successful communication techniques, and review compelling evidence on why everyone should Give Teens a Break.
