This book was released on 2016-11-25 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real Talk for Real Teens #Communicate is an innovative resource for adults seeking to connect with young people. The 60 illustrations (created by Alice Burroughs) and scenarios in this book are meant to inspire conversation, encourage connection, and empower adults with the skills they need to really reach young people. The original scenarios range from situations faced by elementary school aged children (suggested ages 7-13), through areas affecting middle school aged young people (suggested ages 12-15), ending with issues of note to high school young people and college young adults (suggested ages 14-18+). Each illustration is accompanied by a Reflection Page containing researched background on the topic, suggested Take Home Messages, possible Discussion Questions, and a role play. Adults are instructed to begin by asking the young person to "Tell a Story about the Picture." Guidelines for respectful, open-ended communication are easily established. Resource Pages, including the research behind each topic, are included, and a Glossary helps with unfamiliar terms. Dr. Mary Jo Podgurski has used these scenarios in education and counselling for more than 30 years (many of the original illustrations are updated). The scenarios are cutting edge and contemporary. They range from basic topics (for example, selecting healthy food choices and bullying) to complex/potentially controversial topics (like sexuality education, racism, and cultural appropriation). Each illustration is accompanied by a QR Code for duplication. Those who purchase the book will be able to duplicate the images for educational purposes; using the copies for profit is not permitted. Adults using this book can open doors to communication and develop the skills needed to truly reach young people.
