But Josh Shipp didn't need Harvard to know that. Once an at-risk foster kid, he was headed straight for trouble until he met the man who changed his life: Rodney, the foster parent who refused to quit on Shipp and got him to believe in himself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, in \u003cem\u003eThe Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans\u003c\/em\u003e, Shipp shows all of us how to be that caring adult in a teenager's life. Stressing the need for compassion, trust, and encouragement, he breaks down the phases of a teenage human from sixth to twelfth grade, examining the changes, goals, and mentality of teenagers at each stage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipp offers revelatory stories that take us inside the teen brain, and shares wisdom from top professionals and the most expert grown-ups.
