Teen Time - Working Out What You...

Helen Middleton

There are many challenges in the teenage years. Young people often feel pressure to achieve at school. They struggle to negotiate social intricacies. They battle to understand and deal with their own internal emotional world. 
And, on top of all this, they ponder how they will carve out their future. 
Teen Time is written for teenagers. Topics of interest are easily selected and the reader is encouraged to consider a range of perspectives for situations they find challenging. 
Covering a wide range of issues presented frequently in counseling sessions by 13-17 year olds, Teen Time invites teenagers to make time for self-reflection, and to consider alternative possibilities, rather than acting on impulse. It encourages them to choose how they want to be in every area of their life. 
Helen Middleton, a psychologist in private practice, draws on her extensive experience in working with young people as a teacher, secondary school Guidance Officer, gestalt and family therapist. She addresses the hopes and concerns commonly expressed by teenagers. This user-friendly guide is judgement-free, practical, and relatable. 
Because it details the many issues confronting teenagers, Teen Time is also a valuable resource for parents, teachers, beginning counsellors, social workers, and youth workers.

Beyond Sled Dogs and Gold 
 
 
 
Somewhere between myths and hard facts you find Nome, poised also between yesterday and tomorrow.

The region's legacy of millennia shines on pages enriched by this writer's recollections—from mammoths to Cold War monuments, from a spa turned orphanage, to cyclist miners and shaman hoards. Meet the explorers and adventurers, reindeer herders and hustlers, the dancers, drummers, dreamers, warriors, walrus-tusk carvers, and whalers, clergy, foragers, and photographers who shaped a place of conflicting visions as thoroughly as it shaped them.

Reagan’s Hollywood America reveals how the former movie star reshaped not only the Republican Party but also the entire cultural imagination of the United States.
From the rise of patriotic blockbusters to the golden glow of prime-time optimism, Davis Truman traces how film and television during the 1980s became a mirror — and a weapon — for Reagan’s vision of America. Behind the scenes, entertainment and ideology merged into a powerful narrative machine that sold not just movies, but a new national myth.
