Being a teen is tough. Grownups like to talk about how hard it is to change jobs or move to a new house, but as a teen you're going through one of the toughest transformations there is: you’re changing from a child to an adult. Your body is developing new hormonal and nervous system response mechanisms. Your brain is being completely re-wired with millions of new connections that will eventually help you evaluate risks and make great decisions. AND you’re still expected to go to school and take on more chores. Get a job. Decide what you want to do for the rest of your life. Now that’s stressful. That’s real change. The Teen Transformation Manual is here to guide you along the way with more than 70 tools that will help you get comfortable with yourself and claim your power. Learn how to train your brain waves for relaxation and creativity, set goals and manifest results, use meditation to connect with your intuition and get better guidance, harness ancestral wisdom, work with the five elements to balance your body and spirit, and release trauma and heavy emotional baggage. The straight-forward writing, fun exercises and 10 meditations with linked audio files make the process easy to follow while providing real, tangible results. A self-guiding tool for young adults, The Teen Transformation Manual is also used by parents, therapists, and caregivers as a co-creative tool to foster lasting change and strengthen relationships. The exercises in this book provide coping mechanisms that ease trauma, grief, and anger while encouraging a healthy balance between body, mind, and spirit. A centered approach, The Teen Transformation Manual bridges spirituality and lay practices to benefit the full spectrum of teens whether a type-A personality, an ADHD or Indigo, in the foster system, suffering from PTSD, or just trying to get through another day. Find what you need using the handy Master List of exercises at the end of the book, and get ready to transform and FLY!

How do you fix your troubled adolescent? After years of working as an in-home therapist and probation officer, author William Glover grew frustrated with the conventional wisdom that said medication and/or therapy offered the only hope for angry, defiant, unmotivated, ADHD, ADD, oppositional, defiant, drug involved, juvenile court involved, and behaviorally handicapped kids. Based on his work with adolescents and their parents, he became convinced that the solution for the majority of troubled kids resided not with the professionals, but with the parents of these children. With this as a starting point, Glover began developing "The Adolescent Owner's Manual," a unique and effective resource designed to provide parents with the practical, common-sense tools and skills essential to parenting troubled adolescents.

Written from practical experience, this manual provides down-to-earth, step-by-step instructions on all areas of teenage life from physical and emotional development to education and social problems, accompanied by colour photographs throughout.
