Description

The dramatic, real-world experiences of hard-to-reach youth inspire these vivid and compelling essays on effectively connecting with disengaged children. Written by an ex-gang member and former unreachable kid, the jargon-free approach helps adults be intentional about engagement and turn seemingly dire situations into inspirational success stories. Underlying each account is an emphasis on the need for a focused, ongoing dialogue within minority communities about their unique strengths and opportunities for nurturing healthy children and youth. The tough and positive method embodies Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets and includes five detailed asset-building suggestions.
