These reflections and discussions will guide them to be better decision-makers, as well as to confirm their positive past decisions. During adolescence, making effective independent choices is often a point of contention between teens and adults (parents, teachers, grandparents, etc.). As teens mature, they face increasing demands to learn to make choices more independently and to take more responsibility for their own choices. Choices allow teens to change how they are currently living their lives (if they are not happy where they are) or continue to live responsibly by making even more effective choices. The following five sections of the book include self-assessments, journaling activities and role-playing exercises: Teen Action Choices; Teen Relationship Choices; Teen Cultural Differences; Teen not-so-great Choices; and Teen Risk-taking Behavior. BONUS Enrichment activities are included at the end of each section. All self-assessments, activities and handouts are fully reproducible to use with your clients/participants.« less
