"Many books on parenting focus on specific behaviors (i.e., talking back, messy rooms, whining). This book encourages parents not to spend too much time and energy on the small issues, but concentrate on the big issues such as talking and reading to their children, having quality family time, teaching right from wrong, being good role models, and helping their youngsters to be more responsible for their own behavior."

This resource is designed to help you energize student discussions on topics related to cutting-edge current trends and issues for students in upper elementary and middle schools. You will find it to be a great supplemental resource in your individual and small group counseling, and in your classroom guidance sessions. The scenarios contained in this book can be very useful simply as energizers and warm-ups to various guidance topics. However, they can also be effectively used to add depth and relevancy to your guidance lessons and counseling sessions. During the discussions encouraged by this book, students are encouraged to make various guidance topics more relevant and personal to their own situations. Such discussions motivate students to think more thoroughly and critically about different ways they could handle their own day-to-day challenges. As a result, young people add to their awareness of positive peer-acknowledged choices and solutions along with the motivation to try them.

Got Grit?

Grit is a topic that young people relate to. Focusing on this topic is highly motivational for children and adolescents and it helps them to take pride in themselves and their work. Grit consists of courage, backbone, resolve and other strength of character. Young people will benefit by exploring the meaning of grit and its many applications to their day-to-day lives. When they have more grit, they will be able to face greater challenges in and out of school and overcome them. This guide provides 24 lessons with activities and reproducibles that include discussions, scenarios, stories, checklists and questionnaires. It can be used in a comprehensive ""Got Grit?"" program in a school, complete with service projects and recognitions. Or it could be presented more flexibly as a collection of lessons that can help students improve their potentials. Many components of this program can also be presented by parents to young people at home. Four lesson sections are featured: G-Getting Along with Others, R-Responsibility, I-Integrity, T-Tenacity
