New Ways for Life™ is an easy-to-learn method for acquiring 4 Big Skills that can help any young person age 12-17 prepare for managing life’s challenges and gaining confidence in the years to come. The Youth Journal offers encouragement and easy lessons for managing emotions, using flexible thinking, applying moderate behavior to fit the situation, and taking responsibility for using these skills in daily life.
The seventh in the popular New Ways™ series, New Ways for Life™ is designed to reduce bullying in schools and social media, help resolve friendship conflicts, manage family conflicts, eliminate violence at home and in schools, and reduce stress levels.
This personalized journal is intended to be confidential and can be used again and again when young people come up against difficult or stressful situations. It’s not complicated and there are no tests at the end. Not everything learned at school will be used in the future, but these 4 Big Skills will help for a lifetime.
