Book Description
A wonderful workbook that allows teens to express their goals and dreams while learning more about their own life. There are lots of pages that challenge the teen's viewpoint on their past, present and future. FOR WHEN I'M FAMOUS is a great filling in the blanks workbook for both foster and adopted children.
The teenage years are rough enough without having to deal with the issues of adoption and foster care. For many teens, the only way they know to express their confusion, doubt or pain is through rebellion. As a social worker, foster parent, group home staff, or therapist you have the power to help sort out feelings in a productive way with the "For When I'm Famous" lifebooks.
These lighthearted lifebooks are an excellent tool for anyone working with teens in care because they allow you to work directly with teens. This simple tool opens the lines of communication and gives teens permission to express a wide range of feelings, to ask hard questions, to dream about the future and more.
(Wirebound, 31 pages, 2002)
(ONLY sold in packs of 10. For example 2 packs equals 20 books.)
Reviews
From Susan Dougherty: "Gives teens in foster and adoptive homes a unique way to record their histories, their current living arrangements, and their hopes for the future."
