But Josh Shipp didn't need Harvard to know that. Once an at-risk foster kid, he was headed straight for trouble until he met the man who changed his life: Rodney, the foster parent who refused to quit on Shipp and got him to believe in himself. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow, in The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans, Shipp shows all of us how to be that caring adult in a teenager's life. Stressing the need for compassion, trust, and encouragement, he breaks down the phases of a teenage human from sixth to twelfth grade, providing a roadmap for parenting teenagers through each stage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShipp offers revelatory stories that take us inside the teen brain, and shares wisdom from top professionals and the most expert grown-ups. He also includes practice scripts that address tough issues, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFORGIVENESS: What do I do when a teen has been really hurt by someone and it's not their fault?\n\u003cbr\u003eCOMMUNICATION: How do I get a teen to talk to me? They just grunt.\n\u003cbr\u003eTRUST: My teen blew it. My trust is gone. Where do we go from here?\n\u003cbr\u003eBULLYING: Help! A teen (or their friend) is being harassed.\n\u003cbr\u003eDIFFICULT AND AWKWARD CONVERSATIONS: Drugs. Death. Sex. Oh my.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in Shipp's playfully authoritative, no-nonsense voice, The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans tells his story and unpacks practical strategies that can make a difference. Ultimately, it's not about shortcuts or magic words—as Shipp reminds us, it's about investing in kids and giving them the love, time, and support they need to thrive. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd that means every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Wave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49095342620899,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780062654076-1.jpg?v=1788323293","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/zh\/products\/9780062654076","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
