Anxious and troubled and confused teens (most of the teen populations) will carry this portable guide to survival for several days and come away reassured that they are not alone, and come away with useful skills to make life better and easier. Even the teen readers like it!!
I find this book, despite its small size & simple layout, to be an excellent guide/resource for teens.The analogy is interesting. When life is very stressful, it can feel as if you're in a jungle with lots of dangerous tigers --ferocious, hungry, invisible tigers, quietly stalking you.It covers everything from being assertive to building relationships, taking risks, making decisions, staying healthy, dealing with fears, using positive self-talk, & even growing a funny bone. There is also a "Self-Care for Tiger Bites" section which offers ready "first aid" for teens who need quick relief.Parents &/or educators who are also interested in this book, are advised to get hold of the Leader's Guide. It is designed to support & enhance the messages of the Student Book with a step-by-step curriculum in a dozen of easy-to-use sessions. It comes with two dozens of reproducible handout masters.Kudos to the authors for these two excellent guides/resources!I would strongly recommend readers to check out the publisher's website. They have an extensive repertoire of excellent guides/resources for kids, teens, parents as well as educators.
This book is excellent because the author dealsdefinitively with the classic "stressors" in the livesof most students. The presentation provides practicalcoping strategies to identify stress and deal with itin a timely and constructive manner. There is coverageof the breathing techniques for greater oxygenation,as well as strategies to handle limited time andseemingly hostile peers and relevant others.The book advises students to do the following:o be assertive so that we have the time to attend to prioritieso build personal relationshipso take calculated risks in our decision-makingo make decisions over analysis paralysiso stay healthy because we cannot do difficult sustained work unless we are healthyo deal with fear constructively and within the bounds of people and things we can controlOverall, the volume would be a tremendous resource in orderto assist students with personal planning at school and elsewhere.
Regardless your kids are gifted or not, this book is really good for tweens/teens to read. Some respond to it and some don't. However, the strategies and the written works are better than non; and it doesn't cost as much compare to the cost of send your child to psychologist or psychiatrist. Easy to read and understand. It's best to read section by section with the child, so that you can discuss, supplement with more ideas or alternatives if those strategies in the book don't work. Don't read all at once! Take your time to read, discuss and put it to practice, so that you can observe what works and don't work with the child. Thanks to psychologist Daniel Peter (SFO) for recommending the book.
This book was recommended and loaned to us, and my 14 year old didn't want to read it. I convinced her to try it. At the third chapter she started saying she liked it, by the fifth she was quoting it. She finished it and said we needed to own a copy ourselves.
This is an excellent resource for Stress Mgt for Teens. Both of my teens have read it and I have read it too. It describes and defines things in terms they can understand. It talks about a variety of relevant Teen issues: school, peer pressure, life choices, etc. Stress doesn't have to be bad. But we all need help to recognize life stressors and deal with them effectively. As a parent I have found this very helpful in the last 3 yrs. I pull it out periodically to remind myself how teens view the world and help me to help them. Also, I have had my teens reread sections when they have hit a wall on a particular issue. Teens face incredible challenges and living in the world of social media amplifies their everyday experiences (positive or negative).
I had many helpful tips to help me manage my stress! Thank you! The only bad thing was that I had to use one of its tips to read this book! I would recommend this book for any rising 6th graders because going into middle school is stressful! I will gladly use this books tips to help me reach my dreams!!!
