We Were Your Age Once, But You Have Never Been Ours: 101 Words of Wisdom to Children, Teenagers, and Young Adults (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546431503)

We Were Your Age Once, but You Have Never Been Ours contains 101 Words of Wisdom covering personal and social behavior; personal development and learning; choosing, preparing for, and starting a career; and starting their own family.

We, as older adults, have the responsibility to pass on to young people, our children, grandchildren, and children of family members or friends advice or Words of Wisdom as a result of what we have learned through our own life experiences.This wisdom is one of the most valuable gifts that we can give to loved ones. But the vast majority of time, this advice is given verbally with spoken words that can easily be forgotten.

This book puts much of that advice into written words so that it becomes a permanent resource that can be read, re-read, and referred to throughout their lives. It also reinforces what they have already been told by you, their parents, or other adults.

A greeting page at the beginning allows the giver to personalize the book, much like a greeting card. Space is left at the end of each section for the giver to add additional Words of Wisdom or expand on what has been re-printed.
