Adults don't always realize that kids' problems can be as real and as serious as any that are faced by grown-ups. This book speaks directly to teens and preteens, spelling out some of the most serious problems they might encounter and offering straightforward advice on dealing with them. Author Tova Navarra poses 25 tough problems, then offers advice that includes ideas to foster a child's sense of self-awareness, self-empowerment, and self-respect. Just a few among the many issues discussed are: What if a parent is an alcoholic or an addict? . . . What if a child is feeling depressed for long periods of time? . . . What if a child has trouble with a step-parent? . . . What if a child is physically or sexually abused? . . . What if a child is overwhelmed and stressed by school? . . . What if a child has a weight problem or eating disorder? Young People/Tough Problems addresses thorny issues that kids are often reluctant to talk about. But kids who suffer from any of these difficulties urgently need to talk about them, then learn how to cope with them. While offering guidance to kids, this book will also be helpful to their parents, grandparents, and teachers. (Ages 10-14)
