It 's a pleasure, Roger Leslie us, as he followed talks about how young people if they really want something in their lives, their dreams can become reality if they plan to step-by-step. Welcome to Reader Views.
Irene: Hello Roger. Sounds like you have a real winner "Success Express for Teens: Activities to be 50th to change your life" Wow, things that get 50 young people can actually do without the boredom? Convince us.
Roger: Every activityin the book is not more than two or three pages, ranging from research your strengths and goals for a simple cartoon, or choose a theme music dream. Although self-employment activities, readers are actually building something great job, moving and revealing to the # 50th
Irene: What are the first activities that are proposed to the young people continue to enthusiastically. You need something big to be suspendedTo continue.
Roger: Before people can make a difference, should assess where they are. The first activities are interesting to see quickly what gave them joy in the past. Activity 1 asks you to allow the passage of happy memories of childhood Revue. # 2 can unite them, what types of activities and projects, they now argue that satisfaction. From there you can find that are more tools to help create the future more rewarding.
Irene: What inspiredThis book written?
Roger: When I taught in high school, I realized that I have all the tools for success, no matter, they wanted to pursue in life. I built these activities in my curriculum and work on them on the ground every day to help with my students until they shine in a plan that all players can turn their passion and realize their dreams broader.
Irene: Your writing style is appreciated Teens grab you. Submit their attention with your letter and your talking to them.
Roger: I work with young people for 20 years and I really concern them. You can re-up to adulthood, but they are young adults. I speak with them, as every adult I - I'm against, that they have intelligence and that their opinion counts. I do not think live their lives, how it works for me. I want to help them understand what works best for them.
Irene: Do, a> Teenager to help communicate their heart?
Roger: I think everyone can see how an individual, regardless of their age brings out the best of both. But yes, the feeling some youthful enthusiasm for life is important to reach young people. They, more than any others have confirmed their hopes. As a teenager at heart supports the efforts closely.
Irene: "Success Express for Teens" is also a workbook. Tell us what kind of activities thatto give.
Roger: I wanted the book to be action-oriented, so that the reader can immediately begin to progress. Some activities invite teenage passion to reflect on their past to discover what turns you on. Others require a specific action, like doing something nice for you, or the creation of a board of life, visual image of who they are and what they want. I made sure I included learning activities for all styles and personalities.
Irene: When you talk aboutlearning styles, would you please explain what that means.
Roger: Some of us learn by observing, listening and some by some doing. I encourage all types of learning activities, therefore, see things, hear and do can make any progress, as do successful business.
Irene: how different learning styles in the workbook, there are also styles that do not work for everyone. How to make the activities fun, exciting and seductive,those who do not learn this particular style?
Roger: Teens build momentum towards the peak of # 50 after the evaluation of activities. Inviting readers to decide how much they enjoyed each activity gives them the freedom to start to realize that not every strategy should work for everyone. In other self-help books for teens, I noticed that the authors often assume that what each person has to work for. In Success Express, the youngWhat to do in part to sample, for them, so they continue to do more, what moves them toward their goals and less of what you think works again.
Irene: I am in favor of fun. How do you convince a teenager who at one time to change their point of view, the perspective and attitude that a student can be fun.
Roger: Thanks to the appreciation of their individuality. No matter what their roles and interests and can enjoy what they do when they realize thatonly the joy, strength and enthusiasm necessary to create in every situation. It is not what they do, but the attitude that creates what they do, that makes every moment of fun.
Irene: It 's a pretty big "understanding" for an adolescent is between the debt over the establishment of a minute, and takes responsibility for their power. How do you convince kids that they alone have the power over their own position?
Roger: Teenspower-hungry. After all, they discover the independence they want, but can not yet know how to treat them. The key is for adults who have the power to persuade adolescents because they already had the sense, even if they are not fully expressed, but a model of how to use their power responsibly. If we need are responsible for ourselves and others with respect, "and wants to be, we can make informed decisions that do not come to us from the dangers young peoplesometimes to make rash decisions.
Irene: We all know that we can and must establish objectives, which must go forward in life. What you have proposed goals for young people from adults?
Roger: Take your dream of a life and cut into small pieces that you can work immediately. The biggest mistake is to imagine a teenager, starting with the goal of an unspecified date in the future. Compliance is not in StartFuture. It starts now.
Irene: The book is about self-exploration. Many young people can not reason to react to your suggestions from various. What might be some of the main reasons the book can not but be interested in yours?
Roger: boys are hungry for power. After all, they discover the independence they want, but can not yet know how to treat them. The key to adults is not the power to convince that they are teenagers, ashave meaning, even if not fully expressed, but a model for how they use their power responsibly. If we need are responsible for ourselves and others with respect, "and wants to be, we can make informed decisions that sometimes do not come from the dangers young people to make unwise decisions.
Irene: Yes, we adults often redefine the "work" too. How hard is it to redefine the young, if the core belief is that working from homehard work is required, it is hard work, you have to run in practice all the stereotypes of "work" centered?
Roger: A nice aspect of the books is that our minds open to new ideas. When young people are still living in a family where the work is hard, then read the work "activities" could invite them to recognize that you can choose to make room overlooks the idea of work is another. In every activity, I repeat a section called "What's in it for me?"In this area, I go on what the activity and explain why it is worth trying. To redefine "work", I share with readers like all ball games in the morning is a form of work. The choice of the work we do and what we strive for excellence in him the difference between someone who enjoys working and meeting with success and someone you feel drained by it and has consistently met failure.
Irene: As parents or teachers to do the jobattract young people interested?
Roger: The book uses the analogy of an express train, dreams of creating a dynamic and direction of your velocity is in a self-guided tour. Give kids a lot of space and time to pursue their dreams, regardless of Appeals. For those who need more support and direction, I work to help contain an attachment, parents, teachers, guidance counselors and other leaders of many young people.
Irene: It seemsme that parents are also planning to take responsibility for promoting and teaching the long term, as a teenager. What is the ratio teens that their parents would help them to teach?
Roger: strategies for success of the model. I have many adults to buy this book for yourself and make activities to fulfill their dreams. Guys said to do something or have valid grounds on which it is never as powerful as a motivator, showinggo like the strengths and benefits for what you believe will make you happy derivatives. Consistently try to be happy and successful young people themselves and to learn from the model of what you do.
Irene: When it comes to parents to give direction in life skills or danger to life goals to do the best young people to a teacher or music like you instead of you? And why?
Roger: Teens respond to those who truly believe. Ado-what-I-say-not-what-I-do-as an adult has no credibility. Teenagers are very sharp. You know what adults really have their best interests in mind. When adults get success from a position of respect for the guys and trying to give them the tools so they can help themselves, and then appeal to young people, if the tutor is an educator, speaker, or a.
Irene: I see that young people who have found what they are for - below is "respect" for them.Thanks Roger, this was a very interesting interview. Anything you'd like to tell us you have the right book?
Roger: I am grateful that I was like Bayou Publishing is committed to helping young people like me. All supported my efforts and go to schools, churches, organizations, children to share my message with young e. For me, one of the greatest joys of the journey through life together along with peopleway. So thank you, Irene, great for an interview. It 'been a pleasure.
