Parent Choices For Struggling Teens

Gordon Myers, gordon@streetsmartkids.com, www.streetsmartkids.com, Author of the book Street Smart Kids (Available on Amazon.com) talks about his experience in growing up in South Africa and the common sense decisions he had to learn to make to survive in Los Angeles after immigrating there at age 25. He talks about how so many young people in the US are struggling because they have not learned adequate self-control nor found adults with wise advice to help them avoid easily avoided dangerous and self-defeating decisions. He is on a personal crusade to explain that despite too many adults providing temptations dangerous to living a successful life, following some common sense rules and learning from the mistakes of others can help young people navigate self-defeating actions.
