Building A Better Teenager

Child Trends' Research Brief: What Works-Youth Development

Most American adolescents are psychologically, socially, and physically healthy. A vast majority are good citizens who are free of major mental, behavioral, and addictive disorders; an increasing percentage volunteer in their communities; and declining numbers are violent, become pregnant, or smoke. Despite these encouraging facts, adolescence remains a time of considerable change and risk.

I especially like what Dr. Moore and Dr. Zaff say about viewing teens positively, promoting their skills and assets rather than focusing on the negatives, their potential problems and deficits.

It is clear that "relationships" are key to adolescent well-being
