Teen Tips Coloring & Coping: Practical Advice for Navigating Difficult Adult Interactions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979657863)

In today's society, teenagers often find themselves in situations where they interact with adults without the protective shield of their parents. While these interactions should ideally be harmless, the reality is that not all encounters are positive. From schools, hospitals, businesses, or offices to neighborhoods and shops, teenagers encounter adults who bring their personal issues or "baggage" into these environments. Various forms of trauma caused by adult bullying, discrimination, neglect, and more can lead to lifelong scars or worse. This book aims to address this issue by empowering teenagers to navigate such situations effectively.

Teen Tips: Coloring & Coping's illustrations depict enjoyable teen activities to encourage making positive childhood memories. This is a coloring book that every preteen needs to protect themselves or a friend. Unfortunately, the older kids get, the more they don't like to ask for help. Some vexing adults are counting on their naivete and silence. When teenagers don't know how to respond to bad situations involving grown-ups, they're options are suffering in silence, lashing out, withdrawing, losing confidence, or seeking an escape. By equipping teenagers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate interactions with difficult adults, we can create safer and more supportive communities for our youth.
