As a practicing clinical psychologist, I have observed for many years that helping children learn how to think in healthy ways is essential for building self-confidence. This learning process helps teens take better care of themselves and build positive relationships with others. Another important necessity for teens is to acquire practical management tools that help them to become more effective
in their daily efforts. This includes learning how to manage their time, their studies, and their social life, as well as the stress they encounter along the way. Our hope is that teen and pr***en readers find these tactics beneficial and productive as they interact with the changing world that surrounds them. Likewise, it is my hope that these strategies lead to success and satisfaction as they strive to reach their goals.
