| What
you’ll find in the new CHOICES and CHALLENGES:
- Motivating narratives that appeal to today’s youth.
- Current information regarding cost of living, occupations,
wages, and financial aid for post-secondary education.
- Characteristic hands-on approach that has inspired young people
and their mentors since its original publication.
- Sound preventative education, values and goals clarification,
and proven personal planning techniques.
- Promotion of economic independence and self-sufficiency
CHOICES for girls, and CHALLENGES
for teenage boys, engagingly address the myths and hard realities
teenagers must face entering adulthood. Both books detail the
critical choices and challenges teens must consider in order to
become productive, independent human beings.
With a few necessary variations in presentation, the subject
matter is parallel in each book, and the page numbers are identical.
Through the use of provocative exercises, charts, interview
techniques and other interactive methods,
CHOICES and CHALLENGES help
develop skills in the important areas of goal setting, skills
identification, decision making, money management, post-secondary
education, and career, lifestyle, and family planning.
These
self-discovery books practically teach by themselves.
Designed to be used together or separately, the CHOICES SERIES
PROGRAM provides flexible program delivery options for a variety
