Young People and the Cycle of Life

So, often young people are so caught up in emotion that they fail to recognize the long-term picture, of course, this allows them to get caught up in the moment and really live their lives to the full extreme. The pain and sorrow, joy and laughter, love and lust are all wrapped up in a huge ball that consumes them. Indeed, they should be aware of more prudent possibilities, choices and decisions, but to explain them is pearls to swine at that point because there are over riding factors that 'we' just cannot understand.Well, sure we can because we were young too. Interestingly enough, it's interesting that younger folks do not see that reality, that to become older you too have to go through those periods as children, teens and young adults. You cannot get here from there without going through it all as well. This is why I am a big proponent of teaching children and teens about the cycle of life or life cycle.If you are a teen or young adult or a parent deal with a younger per
son, then I'd sure like to recommend a book to you. The book is made for young adults and teens or those entering their teens and it is written from their perspective, but it is a perfect read for a parent as well:"The Life Cycle Library for Young People and Parents" Senior Editor Marsh Goldsmith; Published by Parent and Child Books; 1978.This book addresses issues of first love, first date, school relationships, mentorship, and all the issues that kids have to deal with, it's all there and worthy of your time. Please consider this.
