Sorting it Out
Supporting Teenage Decision Making
Written for adults who live or work with teenagers, this science-based guide describes how you can become a confident decision mentor. Learn to support young people in making good decisions for themselves.
Decision making is an essential and learnable skill. Six decision-maker moves highlight the power and promise of young people as they shape their lives through the options they choose.
Stories, examples, and practical tips show how decisions can shift from problems to opportunities. Each chapter provides practical, common-sense advice on when and how to talk with teenagers as they weigh up the often-conflicting values, emotions, and trade-offs affecting their choices.
We cannot provide kids with all the answers, but we can help them as they navigate life-changing and everyday decisions.
