52 Modern Manners for Today’s Teens
THE ONLY THING HARDER THAN PARENTING A TEEN IS BEING A TEEN
THIS 52 WEEK CALENDAR OF CREATIVE AND CRUCIAL TIPS FOR TEENS WILL HELP BOTH PARENTS AND TEENAGERS NAVIGATE OUR MODERN WORLD WITH CONFIDENCE.
A few useful tips you’ll find inside…NOTHING ONLINE IS PRIVATE
If you would not be ok with your parents, their parents, the entire school, or a future employer seeing or reading it, keep it to yourself. Nothing online ever really goes away, and in our digital world, nothing is private.KNOW YOURSELF
When someone asks what you like to do or what you are into, have an answer ready. There is no “right answer” to this question, but “I don’t know” or “nothing” is the wrong answer. You don’t have to be awesome at something to be interested in it. You don’t have to be on a team or in a club to have a hobby. What you love doesn’t have to be loved by everyone else. If you don’t know what to say, take some time to think about it. If no answer comes, try more things.DON’T LEAVE ONE PERSON OUT
Inviting all except one is cruel. Be someone who includes and makes room. If you have a problem with someone, talk to them; don’t just ghost them. Put yourself in that person’s shoes because chances are, you will be left out someday. Remember: there is always room for one more.RESPECT PEOPLE’S HOMES
Ask about their shoe policy. Never put your feet on furniture. Don’t lie on decorative pillows. Ask permission before eating. Keep your food and drinks in the kitchen. Stay in common areas and out of bedrooms. If you mess it up, clean it up. Keep your volume at an appropriate level. If you break something, take responsibility and replace it.Read more

A Growth Mindset For Teens: Practical Lessons & Activities To Build Confidence, Problem Solve, Grow Skills, And Become Resilient in 31 Days (You Are Your Mindset)
Turn your setbacks to breakthroughs and fears to power with this guidebook on developing a growth mindset — become a responsible and resilient adult!
You are no longer a child, but not yet an adult. As a teen, you are in a period in your life where more is expected of you as adulthood draws near.
You might find yourself overwhelmed by the pressure from your parents, teachers, and others around you.
What if I fail? What if I don’t know how to be an adult? What if my parents are going to be disappointed in me? What if I don’t land a lucrative career?
Suffocating what-ifs flood your mind, affecting your peace of mind which manifests in difficulties at school and challenges with relationships.
The truth is, you’re not alone in this struggle. Millions of young people share the same dilemma, and even non-teens recognize the woes of emerging adulthood.
A 2021 survey revealed that more than 70 percent of Americans agree that adolescents today face a harder time than previous generations.
Fortunately, there is a solution to all your worries. By equipping yourself with a growth mindset, you’ll be able to discover your potential and bring out the best in you.
Even better, there are strategies to develop a mentality that cultivates and promotes growth, converting your fear of the future into faith in yourself in the process. And adopting these strategies is relatively easy, as long as you have a valuable guide.
This book is a safe space where you can find everything you need to develop persistence, resilience, and inner strength to help you face the exciting challenges ahead. Inside, you’ll discover:
- An in-depth understanding of the growth mindset, how it is developed, how it differs from a fixed mindset, and common misconceptions about it
- How to rewire the brain and cultivate growth — and effective strategies to boost neuroplasticity for brain health and resilience
- The importance of reframing your thoughts and ways to live with your inner critic and turn negative thinking into positivity
- Why you must find your strengths to help you break free from limiting beliefs — leave your comfort zone and traverse into the growth zone
- The role of self-compassion, empathy, and gratitude in your quest to bounce back from challenges
- Stress management skills: emotion regulation, problem-solving, and time management to reduce stress and help you become more productive anywhere
- 31-day growth mindset challenges to help you achieve your goals ASAP – fun to do with family, friends, or by yourself
And much more.
So much of what you can achieve stems not from your innate talent, intelligence, or skills, but from your mentality.
Your mindset will determine whether you choose to give up or try again, whether you rest on your laurels or push yourself further, or whether you continue forward or turn back.
So much of how your life will turn out depends on your mindset. Make sure you’re cultivating the right one.
If you’re ready to work on improving yourself, your mindset is a great place to start!

It also responds to a demand from more enlightened educators, committed to providing a more holistic education, to those in their charge.
The contributing authors have brought together, their vast array of expertise and knowledge of early years development, to facilitate the learning and growth of parents, teachers and the like. Here we bring together their views, to present how these areas of concern relate to mental toughness, as well as how understanding your mental toughness as a parent, and your child’s, can help in addressing some of these issues.

Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches (Updated and Expanded Edition)
The doctrine of adoption―God’s decision to adopt sinful men and women into his family―stands at the heart of Christianity. In light of this, Christians’ efforts to adopt beautifully illustrate the truth of the gospel. In this popular-level and practical manifesto, Russell Moore encourages Christians to adopt children and to help other Christian families to do the same. He shows that adoption is not just about couples who have struggled to have children. Rather, it’s about an entire culture within evangelicalism―a culture that sees adoption as part of the Great Commission mandate and as a sign of the gospel itself.

Adoption Law: A Practical Guide
The Adoption and Children Act 2002, which sets out the statutory framework, contains 115 sections and 5 schedules. These provisions are supported by secondary legislation, international conventions, rules, guidance, practice notes and case law that has developed since the Act came into force. The paramount consideration in every decision relating to the adoption of a child is the child’s welfare throughout their life. In doing so the decision maker also has to consider and balance the competing rights protected under the European Convention on Human Rights of all parties in the adoption process and also the child’s rights under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Adoption Law: A Practical Guide seeks to provide a comprehensive guide to the law, practice and procedure for professionals as well as those who are concerned with or involved in the adoption process. It covers each stage of the adoption process, including the difficult issue of contact between the child and their birth parents and the alternative options available by reference to the relevant case law and regulations in relation to domestic adoptions as well as adoptions with a foreign element. Registration of adoption and the sensitive issue of disclosure of information are also considered. The book deals with the statutory obligations and responsibilities imposed on adoption agencies, support services and other professional bodies who are concerned with adoption towards all the parties, including the child who is the subject of the proceedings. It also outlines the rights of those parties to challenge decisions made by the professional bodies involved in the process.Read more

Adoption Unfiltered: Revelations from Adoptees, Birth Parents, Adoptive Parents, and Allies
Reveals the candid thoughts and feelings of those most directly involved in adoptions: the adoptee, the adopters, and the birth parents.Adoption Unfiltered authors Sara Easterly (adoptee), Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard (birth parent), and Lori Holden (adoptive parent) interview more than 30 adoptees, 20 birth parents, a dozen adoptive parents, and several industry professionals―all sharing candidly about the challenges in adoption. While finding common ground in the sometimes-contentious space of adoption may seem like a lofty goal, it reveals the authors’ optimistic aim: working together with truth and transparency to move toward healing. Flipping the typical script, in which adoptive parents take the lion’s share of the narrative, this book leads with adoptee stories then moves on to stories of challenges and perspectives of birth parents―so often marginalized and silent. The third section offers narratives from adoptive parents who are working through their unique challenges. We also hear from adoption professionals, who share the challenges of operating ethically amid rampant unethical practices in the unregulated world of finding infants and children for homes. Finally, we hear from activists and adoption-competent therapists, offering their ideas to make adoption policies and practices better for all involved. Adoption is a beautiful experience but has challenges just like any other relationship or family system. The unique perspectives found here can help to smooth out the rough spots, celebrate the joys, and provide comfort and confirmation for everyone involved in the adoption journey.Read more

Beyond Coping Skills: The Ultimate Teens’ Workbook: Integrating CBT and DBT for Lasting Emotional Regulation and Personal Growth (Successful Parenting)
There are over 55,000 posts about #MentalHealth on TikTok, viewed by more than 188 million users. This shows that mental health awareness is becoming a hot topic for many young people.
With all of this content flooding the internet, it is becoming easier for teens to find peers who are faced with similar psychological issues. But more often than not, they are still left confused about how to respond to these challenges in positive ways.
What seems to be lacking isn’t education about stress or anxiety, but rather effective cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills to confront obstacles head on. Above and beyond the guidance offered by friends, parents, and schoolteachers, teens can also benefit from learning how to improve their reactions to stressful situations.
Beyond Coping Skills: The Ultimate Teens’ Workbook is an easy-to-use self-directed therapy workbook that can help teenagers aged 13–19 practice core CBT and DBT skills from the comfort of their own bedrooms.
Yes, that’s right! In this digital age, where there is an app for virtually everything, and information is available at the touch of a button, therapy has become more affordable and accessible online!
Several studies have proven the success of both CBT and DBT in managing stress, regulating strong emotions, and modifying behaviors—and the best part is that the same skills taught in a counseling room can be practiced at home too!
Over the course of 5 chapters, 28 journal prompts, and 50 exercises, teens can look forward to learning:- The power of the pause when sensing triggers and managing impulsive urges.
- How to identify and detach from unwanted thoughts and emotions.
- Strategies on how to define, brainstorm, and implement solutions for everyday life problems.
- How to develop self-respect through boundary setting and positive conflict resolution.
The purpose of this workbook is to mentally prepare teens for unexpected and ongoing stressful situations they may face at home or at school. Through a powerful combination of CBT and DBT skills, they will be able to walk away with knowledge on how to reflect, reframe, and readjust their thoughts and emotions to achieve desired goals.

REVIEW by LIMPING CHICKEN– “The World’s Most Popular Deaf Blog”
Review by Rebecca-Anne Withey.
“I’ve been enjoying a book from the Let’s Sign BSL series by Cath Smith.BSL Baby Sign Link book is a first for DeafBooks due to how the illustrations also feature QR codes to scan and link to video clips of moving images – so you can see the signs in action! The video links are by Remark! and demonstrated by a Deaf BSL user.
The illustrations in the book are beautifully clear, with easy to follow instructions yet I was anxious how the video clips would work, being the technophobe I am!
I needn’t have worried. All you need is an internet connection, a smart phone and to download a free scanner straight onto your phone.
Not only does the book feature a wide range of every day signs from food and drink to praises such as well done and good boy/girl, it also has a clear chart of the finger spelling alphabet as well as descriptions of basic hand shapes (which I wasn’t previously aware of!)
The series of signs are divided into chapters such as Going Out, Making Things Better and In the Bathroom.”…………..
……….“I was pleased to see that DeafBooks has a much wider range of resources available, from flash cards and BSL songbooks to curriculum support and eBooks for family signs.
I will also be recommending their BSL series to friends of mine who have expressed interest in their hearing children learning BSL as at the moment in my area there are no BSL classes available for children.
Congratulations to DeafBooks and to Remark! for producing such a valuable resource. ”
Note from DeafBooks – the QR codes can also be scanned from the camera on smart phones and ipads.
.
There are additional notes and tips beneath the video clips and you can comment and ask questions. Your suggestions and feedback are welcome.
