"Smile Inside" by Vanessa Lee
Vanessa Lee shares a program of activities, some from memory, for those who work with 14- and 15-year-olds in “Smile Inside: Experiential Activities for Self-Awareness Ages 14-15” (ISBN 1456596772) in order for teachers and youth workers to better reach them. With one out of every five students admitting to bullying, Lee designs a program aimed to counteract bullying, self-destructive behaviors and much more.
Freshmen Advisory Program Teacher Ron White said, “The lessons and projects in the packets…were so great for the needs of the first year of the Freshman Advisory. [They] helped the freshman in our eclectic community to more quickly and qualitatively correspond on tough issues.”
“After my amazing experiences at camp and in two different elective courses in high school, I’ve always felt that every teen should be given the opportunity to explore their identity, feelings, thoughts and behaviors in a supportive environment to assist them in living to their fullest potential,” Lee says.
She covers a multitude of topics in “Smile Inside,” including empathy, problem solving, self-awareness, communication, setting goals and much more. The activities she covers can also be used in intervention programs for at-risk youth. Lee hopes that her work becomes a powerful tool in helping teenagers realize how to live a healthy, happy and meaningful life.
“Smile Inside: Experiential Activities for Self-Awareness Ages 14-15” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
