How to Make & Keep Friends: Tips for Teens on Life and Social Success (Volume 3)

Being a teenager isn’t always easy, and navigating friendships and relationships can be especially difficult for some teens. Our goal in writing this third book in our friendship series was to help make the social journey through the teenage years an easier one. This time in life can feel both exciting and difficult. There are some challenges that every teen experiences. These include: • Changing Brains • Changing Bodies • Strong Emotions • Understanding Yourself • Developing a Value System • Awkwardness • Changing Friendships • Barriers to Social Success We know from our experience as social coaches that everyone is “friend-able.” Sometimes a teen need a little support or advice to make that happen. We had real teens help us with writing the tips in this book. This book builds on the tips that we talked about in our Amazon best-selling book for younger kids, How to Make & Keep Friends: Tips for Kids to Overcome 50 Common Social Challenges. For tweens or younger teens, the end of our first book and the beginning of this one will be the right developmental combination of tips. The book is meant to be used as a reference guide. We did not intend for it to be read cover to cover. Teens can easily flip to the section they want to know more about and read only the parts that will be interesting and helpful them as an individual or for a specific situation. There is a total of 500 immediately actionable tips for teens to use. We have sections that cover: • Personal Hygiene • Building Self-Confidence • Managing Strong Feelings • Being Excluded, Ignored or Rejected • Considering Another’s Point of View • Conflicts and Disagreements • Online Presence and Gaming • Interviews and Appointments • Accepting Criticism • Dating and Sexuality • And much, much more!
