Human development is a lifelong process of physical, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional growth and change. In the early stages of life-from babyhood to childhood, childhood to adolescence, and adolescence to adulthood-enormous changes take place. Throughout the process, each person develops attitudes and values that guide choices, relationships, and understanding. This book provides a phased sequence of ten steps to help you find your way through a wilderness of study, social pressure, familial expectations and identity recognition. Although primarily written for young adults, contained within the pages are important clues for parents, teachers and anyone else interested in supporting students who feel confused and directionless. Each chapter offers young people the functional tools they require to take ownership of their life and responsibility for their actions. These strategies can help them become the author of their own life, rather than being a character in someone else's.
