Nautilus Gold Award Winner: Parenting & Family n n A practical guide to understanding teens from bestselling author and global youth advocate Josh Shipp. n n In 2015, Harvard researchers found that every child who does well in the face of adversity has had at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive adult. But Josh Shipp didnt need Harvard to know that. Once an at-risk foster kid, he was headed straight for trouble until he met the man who changed his life: Rodney, the foster parent who refused to quit on Shipp and got him to believe in himself. n n Now, in The Grown-Ups Guide to Teenage Humans, Shipp shows all of us how to be that caring adult in a teenagers life. Stressing the need for compassion, trust, and encouragement, he breaks down the phases of a teenage human from sixth to twelfth grade, examining the changes, goals, and mentality of teenagers at each stage. n n Shipp offers revelatory stories that take us inside the teen brain, and shares wisdom from top professionals and the most expert grown-ups. He also includes practice scripts that address tough issues, including: n n n n FORGIVENESS: What do I do when a teen has been really hurt by someone and its not their fault? n COMMUNICATION: How do I get a teen to talk to me? They just grunt. n TRUST: My teen blew it. My trust is gone. Where do we go from here? n BULLYING: Help! A teen (or their friend) is being harassed. n DIFFICULT AND AWKWARD CONVERSATIONS: Drugs. Death. Sex. Oh my. n n Written in Shipps playfully authoritative, no-nonsense voice, The Grown-Ups Guide to Teenage Humans tells his story and unpacks practical strategies that can make a difference. Ultimately, its not about shortcuts or magic words-as Shipp reminds us, its about investing in kids and giving them the love, time, and support they need to thrive. n n And that means every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story. n
