Teenagers’ choosing healthy friendships is of monumental importance! As children enter middle school and high school, they will be experiencing changes in friends, personal style, social life, movies, music, emotions, etc.—in fact, in all aspects of their lives.
The Teen Friendship Workbook will serve as a guide to assist teens in choosing their friends wisely, thus avoiding potentially risky situations. Being able to say no and not be negatively influenced by peers is one of the goals of this book.
Healthy friendships are full of joy, fun, caring, empathy, and mutual support. Friendships grow with time and require various skills that must be developed. This workbook aims to help participants explore the skills they are using in their friendships. It incorporates exciting and eye-opening assessments to encourage participants to explore their friendship behavior and that of their friends.
The Teen Friendship Workbook contains five separate sections to help teens learn more about themselves and the skills that are fundamental to developing and maintaining healthy friendships:
- Characteristics of Friends helps teens explore the types of positive and negative qualities their friends possess.
- Friendship Skills helps teens identify their strengths and weaknesses in interacting with their friends.
- Friend Communication Skills helps teens identify and explore how well they communicate with their friends and develop better friendship communication skills.
- Friendship Personality helps teens understand their personality and the personality of their friends to better accept one another for the ways they are different.
- Peer Pressure helps teens identify how they feel pressured or influenced by their friends to do things they may or may not want to do.
The Teen Friendship Workbook can be used independently or as part of an integrated curriculum. Assessments and journaling exercises may be used effectively with individuals or a group. The following tools are in each section:
- Assessment instruments
