The fruit of the spirit : bible study for tweens / by Dobson, T.S.,author.;
There are nine Fruits of the Spirit: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Why are these nine fruits so important in everyday living? Paul in Galatians when speaking about these fruits was referring to the Holy Spirit. You are never too young or old to experience the fruits of the spirit. This study is for anyone, but the target of the study is for what we call the “tween” preteen years, that in between stage in life of growing up. Many questions of how to live the Christian life can be guided by these fruits. In this study not only are the fruits discussed by life experiences as a tween, but the study shows how to use the Bible to search for these fruits using the Concordance Index. It's a great book for Bible study devotions! To fully understand the Fruits of the Spirit, we must be able to comprehend the nine words by their definition and context as given using the Bible. This is a comprehensive study of each word to help adolescence in their journey with understanding God.

Overcoming worries about body image and eating : a self-help guide for teenagers / by Stewart, Anne,author.(CARDINAL)526062; Nahman, Caz,1967-author.; Adams, Joanna,author.;
Includes glossary, bibliographic references (pages 431-442) and index.Introduction -- What is adolescence all about? -- Making sense of experiences -- What is healthy eating? -- Eating difficulties in the teenage years -- Worries about body image -- Looking after yourself -- Managing stress and anxiety -- Developing a positive relationship with food and eating -- Improving self-esteem -- How to feel good about your body -- Dealing with perfectionism -- Social media and the internet -- Worries around exercise -- Common problems for teenage boys -- Getting help from family, friends and school -- Getting professional help -- A chapter for parents and carers -- Summary- what happened next?"Most teenagers worry about their body and appearance at some point, and some may try to alter their eating in order to change their weight or shape. If you are spending a lot of time worrying about how you look or what you are eating, it can become overwhelming and have a big impact on your life. The aim of this book is to help you to understand a bit more about these worries, what you can do about them and, most importantly, how you can develop a healthy relationship with your body and with food. If these worries take hold, there is a risk of developing an eating disorder or becoming depressed. Eating disorders can have a huge and negative impact on your physical health, your emotional wellbeing, your relationships and social life. They can take control of your mind and body, which makes it difficult to feel motivated to recover, and it can be a long and difficult journey to get back on track, so it's better to tackle these worries early on." --

From a young woman who wants to learn secret words to terminate a pregnancy to a mother who discovers an extra child in her home she had forgotten about, to a couple separated from their son in globes orbiting the Earth, to society's terrible plan to leave the burning planet for a life on Mars, the stories honor the emotional force of these situations by grappling with themes of freedom, self-definition, youth, aging, control, and power.

Brain inflamed : uncovering the hidden causes of anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders in adolescents and teens / by Bock, Kenneth,1953-author.(CARDINAL)534084;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Over the past decade, the number of 12- to 17-year-olds suffering from mental health disorders has more than doubled. While adolescents and teens are notorious for mood swings and rebellion, parents today are navigating new terrain as their children are increasingly at risk of struggling with a mental health issue. But the question remains: What is causing this epidemic of illness? In Brain Inflamed, acclaimed integrative doctor Dr. Kenneth Bock shares a revolutionary new view of adolescent and teen mental health--one that suggests many of the mental disorders most common among this population (including depression, anxiety, and OCD) may share the same underlying mechanism: systemic inflammation. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Bock explains the essential role of the immune system and the microbiome in mental health, detailing the ways in which imbalances in these systems--such as autoimmune conditions, thyroid disorders, or leaky gut syndrome--can generate neurological inflammation. While most conventional doctors assume that teens' psychological struggles can be resolved only with therapy and psychotropic drugs, Dr. Bock's approach considers the whole-body health of his patients. In his integrative evaluations, he often uncovers triggers such as gluten sensitivity, adrenal dysfunction, Lyme disease, and post-strep infections--all of which create imbalances in the body that can generate psychological symptoms. Filled with incredible stories from Dr. Bock's more than thirty years as a practicing physician, Brain Inflamed explains the biological underpinnings of many common mental health issues, and empowers the parents and family members of struggling teens with practical advice--and perhaps most importantly, hope for a brighter future. -- Provided by publisher."From author and integrative pediatrician Dr. Kenneth Bock comes an approach to identifying the symptoms and underlying causes of mental health challenges among teens and tweens, empowering families with information and treatment options"--Welcome to the spectrum -- Immune system 101 -- Gut feelings -- Out of control: infection-triggered autoimmune brain inflammation (ITABI) -- Bitten by the bug: Lyme, Bartonella, and other tick-borne diseases -- Stopped cold: Hasimoto's and other thyroid disorders -- Dead on their feet: adrenal dysfunction and low blood sugar -- Overreacting to life: allergies and sensitivities -- Bottlenecked: nutritional deficiencies, toxicants, and metabolic disruptions.
