by Susan E. Carrell

They′ll find these helpful Teens Journal Too! Journaling isn′t just for adults. Many teens and pre-teens chronicle their lives and express themselves through journaling. They lament relationships gone wrong, fume about unjust treatment at the hands of parents and other authority figures, and celebrate victories both in and out of school. In the language of teens, they "get their feelings out", a proven benefit to emotional well-being. Unlike the ordinary blank-paged journals found in book stores and gift shops everywhere, this teen journal is carefully crafted by an expert in adolescent therapy. In addition to plenty of blank pages for self-expression, there are questions to ponder and answer that promote self-discovery and growth. Appealing cartoons and "Doodle Pages" make the journal come alive. The savvy eleven-year-old, defiant fourteen-year-old and shy sixteen-year-old will be intrigued and challenged. " A Guide to Self-Discovery and Growth" may be an adolescent′s best friend. Parents, aunts, cousins, friends and others who are looking for a present for graduation (from elementary or middle school), birthdays, religious rites of passage, Christmas and other religious holidays, as well as occasional gifts of encouragement or celebration will be delighted to find and purchase the Journal. And of course, teens will buy it themselves, for themselves!
