Adolescent Reaction
· Adolescent Reaction Paper · Paper Organization Over 85% of Americans will become parents, but we do not “teach” young adults about how to become effective parents. Midway through the semester, you will be asked to submit a paper based on your reactions to a book of your choosing which addresses developmental, behavioral, or educational issues affecting adolescents. Use this course assignment as an opportunity to select an aspect of raising a tween/teen/young adult that interests you. For example, if you are interested in risk-taking, you could select a book on dealing with kiddos who are using drugs/alcohol. If you are interested in maximizing educational attainment, perhaps you select a book on educating young adults.
