Birth Of A Teenager: An Owner's Manual

So, you're curious. You are on the road to becoming a young adult and it can be a bumpy ride. Your body and your thinking are changing. No doubt you have some questions about the process. I asked kids and their parents what they would like to know more about. Those questions turned into topics, which ultimately turned into this book. Birth of a Teenager: an owner's manual addresses subjects like body image, nutrition, hormones, vegetarianism, skin care and a whole lot more. Crack it open, you just might get YOUR questions answered. About Corie Goodson Having earned her Master's in Public Health in 1993, Corie has worked as a community health educator, teacher, and wellness speaker for over a decade. She has worked with kids and teens since the 1970's and has seen first hand how negative health trends have affected them into adulthood. "The media bombards us with over 40,000 negative health messages annually and it is having a profound effect on our youth. There's so much confusing information out there. It's enough to drive kids and their parents crazy." Corie's mission is to educate kids and adults alike so that they can make more informed decisions regarding their health, despite the media hype. "I want kids to be more secure in their knowledge so that when misinformation comes their way, they can ask better questions." Education has the power to change the future and small consistent changes in lifestyle can add up to big results over time. Change isn't always easy, but it is worth it if it tips the scale in the right direction and can offer a brighter future.
