Sorting It Out Summary

Sorting It Out: Supporting Teenage Decision Making by Robin Gregory (University of British Columbia, Vancouver)

Written for parents, teachers and others who live or work with teenagers, this science-based guide describes how you can become a confident 'decision mentor'. Learn to support young people in making good decisions for themselves. Treating decision making as an essential and learnable skill, the six-step 'decision-maker moves' highlight the power and promise of young people as they shape their lives through the options they choose. Stories, examples, and practical tips show how decisions can transform problems into opportunities. Each chapter provides common-sense advice on when and how to talk with teenagers as they weigh up the often-conflicting values, emotions, and trade-offs affecting their choices. We cannot provide young minds with all the answers, but we can help them as they navigate both life-changing and everyday decisions.
