Book description
The tween and teen years are rife with intense social challenges in school, friendships, sports, and other activities where instances of teasing, bullying, social exclusion, and marginalization are unfortunately all too common. Social media has only made this behavior easier and more insidious. Emotionally Resilient Tweens and Teens gives parents vital, proactive strategies to help build strong family relationships that foster trust and connection so that kids can be better prepared for the inevitable social challenges life brings.
Kim John Payne, a leading education consultant and parenting expert, and Luis Fernando Llosa, a writer and longtime sports coach, offer guidance and practical advice to parents, along with ten inspirational stories by young adults who have navigated bullying, teasing, and social exclusion—and triumphed. This book is essential reading for parents and caregivers, educators, coaches, and anyone working with teenagers.
Praise for the book
Steve Biddulph
“In a world of hot tips and Instagram memes that go puddle deep, Kim John Payne and Luis Fernando Llosa have found a better way to help. Stories are how we learn best, and they don’t preach or patronize. This is a life-saving book to help kids rise above the put-down culture that modern life has become.”
Mitch Abblett
“With clear, hands-on tools for both parents and kids, this book gives tweens and teens a chance to build resilience in the face of bullying and the skills they’ll need to believe in themselves and improve their lives going forward.”
Tina Payne Bryson
“This book shows tweens and teens that if they’re being excluded or teased, they’re not alone; it then emboldens them with specific responses and strategies to impact their social dynamics. Payne and Llosa guide parents to be both a safe haven and a launching pad, so kids feel connected and confident to venture out to navigate the world.”
