“She is Significant” is based on a woman's life journey through puberty, adolescence, reproductive age, climacteric time, and the elderly years. This book is dedicated to entire womanhood because “SHE IS SIGNIFICANT”. The book will be written in 4 volumes. The first volume " I am Entering My Teens" is written keeping in mind the young adolescent girls who are entering or have entered their teens. These girls are completely unaware of the physical and mental changes in their bodies once they approach puberty, especially menstruation, vaginal hygiene, fitness, nutrition, etc. At the same time not only do they undergo a physical transformation, but their mind also changes. Some teens go into depression, some may land up in adolescent pregnancy, and there is no awareness of STDs or birth control methods. Teens might get violent at times and end up in substance abuse. All these topics are talked about in great depth, in simple, easy-to-understand language for teens. Sensible solutions and valuable suggestions have been provided at every point so that there is no delay in initiating self-management. This book will be a boon for parents, especially mothers, as not only the teens but their mothers also have to be very patient in handling their young girls. They should understand that being aggressive towards their children won't help at this stage of life.
A New York Times Bestseller Renowned neurologist Dr. Frances E. Jensen offers a revolutionary look at the brains of teenagers, dispelling myths and offering practical advice for teens, parents and teachers. Dr. Frances E. Jensen is chair of the department of neurology in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. As a mother, teacher, researcher, clinician, and frequent lecturer to parents and teens, she is in a unique position to explain to readers the workings of the teen brain. In The Teenage Brain, Dr. Jensen brings to readers the astonishing findings that previously remained buried in academic journals. The root myth scientists believed for years was that the adolescent brain was essentially an adult one, only with fewer miles on it. Over the last decade, however, the scientific community has learned that the teen years encompass vitally important stages of brain development. Samples of some of the most recent findings include: Teens are better learners than adults because their brain cells more readily "build" memories. But this heightened adaptability can be hijacked by addiction, and the adolescent brain can become addicted more strongly and for a longer duration than the adult brain. Studies show that girls' brains are a full two years more mature than boys' brains in the mid-teens, possibly explaining differences seen in the classroom and in social behavior. Adolescents may not be as resilient to the effects of drugs as we thought. Recent experimental and human studies show that the occasional use of marijuana, for instance, can cause lingering memory problems even days after smoking, and that long-term use of pot impacts later adulthood IQ. Multi-tasking causes divided attention and has been shown to reduce learning ability in the teenage brain. Multi-tasking also has some addictive qualities, which may result in habitual short attention in teenagers. Emotionally stressful situations may impact the adolescent more than it would affect the adult: stress can have permanent effects on mental health and can to lead to higher risk of developing neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression. Dr. Jensen gathers what we’ve discovered about adolescent brain function, wiring, and capacity and explains the science in the contexts of everyday learning and multitasking, stress and memory, sleep, addiction, and decision-making. In this groundbreaking yet accessible book, these findings also yield practical suggestions that will help adults and teenagers negotiate the mysterious world of adolescent development.

From over two decades of listening to young people tell him things they were not telling their parents or anyone else, Roy Petitfils learned that often what teens think and feel most deeply might not be what you think. Young people struggle to find their own voice--in their families, in the Church, and in the larger world community. Too often teenagers take their needs and concerns underground and share in secret their hurts, fears, and disenchantment. They console one another because for many the adult world isn't a safe place for them. What Teens Want You to Know gives voice to ten things young people want adults to know but won't tell them. It discusses such issues as your relationship with a teen, acceptance of teen behavior, teens' desire to serve, and much more. Petitfils assures you that young people want to include adults in their lives. With his guidance, you can help them do that.
