What Matters to Teens

What Matters to Teens offers an easy-to-read series of simple helping strategies for any adult who cares about young people. Offering a balanced perspective of theory, research, and common sense, this book will inspire and persuade all of us who care about teens to use thoughtful, intentional, relationship building and encouragement strategies. Readers are invited into a reflective conversation about what it means to really listen to teens and apply what we learn to how we help them. Avoiding the usual quick-fix solutions, this book is really about the full process of becoming reflective practitioners, parents, and youth workers who recognize that encouragement is as much about what we do as it is about what we believe and who we are trying to be as we artfully cooperate with teens who are doing the same.
