Description
The National PTA's review:
"Healthy Teens is 270 pages chockfull of sound, practical advice for parents, caregivers, educators, and health professionals on how to help young people negotiate today's world safely and positively. The book also includes chapters on life after high school and how to advocate for your teen's all-around health education at school."
Dr. Donald Gainey, former principal at Milford High School (MA) and one of the reviewers of each chapter says:
"Healthy Teens is an extraordinary reference for parents, teachers, principals--anyone concerned about adolescents. It is not preachy. In a down-to-earth, insightful, and very readable style, it asks adults to listen to important issues in teen's lives. It is apparent that the author cares deeply about young people, and its style invites teens to read the book for themselves."
