Book Description:
Paperback,
published April,
2003
Like yesteryear's crazy uncle in the attic stories, almost every
family today is dealing with one or more of its adolescent members
who are at risk of being incarcerated.
For middle class and single working parents in particular, time
and money are already stretched to the limit. Dealing with and getting
help for a troubled teen during his or her time of greatest need
takes even a greater toll on family unity.
Through 2 Late
4 Time Out
the Juvenile Justice System is demystified by employing an engaging,
shoot-from-the hip style narrative that is woven around preventive
and corrective strategies -- here are more than 100 illustrations,
and over 1,000 links to schools, treatment facilities and
other valuable resources found on the Internet!
Complimenting the hard facts are self-assessments, dozens of true-life
scenarios, hundreds of annotated links broken down by category and
interactive quizzes designed to help adult caretakers of troubled
teens.
