What’s the best way to solve problems between people? By talking them over and working them out. It’s never too soon for children to learn the process of peaceful conflict resolution.

When Monica is bullied by her friend Kate, it’s not with fists or weapons. Instead, Kate uses name-calling, humiliation, and exclusion—emotional bullying, or relational aggression. Often dismissed as a normal rite of passage, it’s as harmful as physical aggression, with devastating long-term effects. With the help of a supportive adult (her mother), Monica learns to reclaim her power. Includes tips, discussion questions, and resources.

Everyone needs to know how to name and express feelings. Each jar holds 365 little slips printed with “feelings words”—gleeful, insecure, grateful, angry, cranky, courageous, hopeful, and many more. Pull a slip and act out the feeling, or invite someone else to act it out. Use as discussion starters, journaling prompts, or icebreakers for groups.

Everybody loves lists: making them, reading them, checking things off on them. Instead of trivia lists, these are powerful self-help lists written to and for teens themselves. Some are practical: ways to study, make friends. Some are meant to motivate or inspire: ways to set goals, serve others. Some are serious, and some are just for fun. These are lists that really matter, and teens will use them every day.
