About this item
This important book from a renowned teen and millennial expert provides practical, refreshing insights that help parents and educators focus less on tests, grades and college admissions - and more on our children's well-being, fulfillment and long-term success. For years, we've been led to believe that great grades, high test scores, and college acceptance are key to a successful life. Yet our laser focus on these achievements leaves students feeling anxious, demoralized, and unprepared. What if we've overlooked the critical skills young adults need to navigate an ever-changing world? What fundamental skills help young people adapt, persevere, and thrive? Academic advisor and early career development expert Ana Homayoun answers these questions and more in her accessible and solutions-oriented guide to transforming future generations.
