Description
Essential Health Tips for Teens presents puberty in a non-threatening, non-judgmental and religion-neutral manner. It offers common sense advice and practical guidelines on how teens can deal with the changes in their bodies and their move from childhood to young adulthood.
It offers helpful checklists on how to deal with acne and stopping smoking, and how to deal with life's bigger questions on drinking alcohol, engaging in sex and taking drugs, and how to have enough self-esteem to make positive choices.
The authors combine over 30 years of experience in health publishing and educating and counselling teens in this document to help parents deal with these issue without embarrassment or getting too 'heavy.' Teens will appreciate the no-nonsense approach to many of their most pressing questions about puberty, growing up, relationships, and making the right choices.
