"In 2015, Harvard researchers found that every child who does well in the face of adversity has had at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive adult. But Josh Shipp didn't need Harvard to know that. Once an at-risk foster kid, he was headed straight for trouble until he met the man who changed his life: Rodney, the foster parent who refused to quit on Shipp and got him to believe in himself. Shipp shows all of us how to be that caring adult in a teenager's life. Stressing the need for compassion, trust, and encouragement, he breaks down the phases of a teenage human from sixth to twelfth grade, examining the changes, goals, and mentality of teenagers at each stage. Josh Shipp aka "The Teen Whisperer" is a former at-risk foster kid turned teen advocate. His TV series Teen Trouble on A&E documented his work with teens in crisis. He is the author of "The Teen’s Guide to World Domination"-- provided by publisher.
