Incredible Resource for all families
This book is a must-have for all families with children. Since no family is without problems or issues, this book addresses a cross section of many things that affect children and teens throughout their school career. There is also a great workbook section which is helpful for all to set some priorities and figure out a plan on how to achieve. I'd highly recommend this book for reading, even before your child gets to be a teen, so you can anticipate some of what they will go through and be prepared to deal with whatever they encounter. It is quite green-friendly, addressing issues such as health and pesticides which are common issues at schools today.
