This workbook is written for both the pre-teen and the teen in mind. However, adults (both young and old, single and married) have used the workbook too, successfully learning to identify their own needs, figuring out why they have acted in some ways and what they have been seeking after all. Helping teens to understand what it is they need in life can often help their self-esteem and ability to meet the specific needs we have in life. When teens identify their needs, it is like a light bulb goes off and they realize they are more alike then different. This information can ease the load of being a teen by normalizing life and needs. This understanding can save a lot of pain in their lives. Often teens will create projects and enjoy using the basic skills which are otherwise rejected or fought against, such as writing, researching, and talking in public. They may even create a CD with songs that are about the 5 needs in life.

This workbook was successfully used for a job training program as well as in a summer alternative program for rising 9th graders. 

Please note:
This workbook does not replace necessary medication or intense therapy but can be used with either of these under the direction and care of a professional.
