Description
Globalization has given many of us unparalleled opportunities to work, travel, fall in love, and raise kids all over the world. But it’s made being a teen more complicated than ever. Imagine having to discover your identity and place in the world when you keep having to move communities, your parents are from different cultural or ethnic backgrounds, or you're exposed to multiple cultures daily.
How can we help these cross-cultural teens stay happy, healthy, and balanced particularly in a time of uncertainty and a global pandemic?
Raising Global Teens explores the hot topics that adolescents experience today: identity, social media, body image, puberty, drugs, stress, and sex, all in the context of our modern, mobile world. In this easy-to-read handbook, Dr. Anisha provides answers to the common, if tough, questions from global teens and their parents. She combines real-world examples with practical solutions, drawing on the latest research, her own experience and that of the many cross-cultural teens she has worked with over the last 25 years. Raising Global Teens enables busy families, health providers, and educators to build powerful tools to help today's adolescents thrive.
