Do you ever ask yourself, “Did my teenager come from a different planet?”.  So to help you better understand your student & the changes they are going through, I have put together a list of resources that may be helpful to you.  All of these should be available for purchase on Amazon.com unless otherwise noted.

For Students:

My Faith by Kurt Johnson and Mark Oestreicher (also available: My Family and My Friends)
Surviving Middle School 2.0 by Rick Bundschuh (includes a CD) - available only at interlinc-online.com - click on  “store”.

For Parents:

Boundaries with Teens by Dr. John Townsend
The Primal Teen by Barbara Strauch - a fascinating look at teenage brain development.
The Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide to Parenting Teens by Paul David Trip
Parenting Teens in a Confusing Culture by Mark Gregston
Teenage Guys by Steve Gerali
Teenage Girls by Ginny Olson
Hurt by Chap Clark - this is one of the most challenging books I’ve ever read and really opened my eyes as to what today’s teens are dealing with.

Happy reading!
