About the Book
Reinventing Teenagers - The Gentle Art of Instilling Character in Our Young People provides parents and teachers of teenagers with a fresh approach and a hands-on resource for changing the number one thing we hate about today’s kids: their lack of character. Reinventing Teenagers provides 650 carefully chosen quotations and personal reflections on 20 different subject areas relevant to today’s teens. A variety of creative approaches are used to help get our young people to begin to reflect on their lives, think about their goals and aspirations, perhaps become a bit less cynical, and realize that they are the makers of their own destiny. A complete set of formatted, printable quotations is included with the book.
