Rarely does one find a single text that provides a comprehensive look at the physical, intellectual, and psychological development of youth. Lloyd has organized her book into two major sections. In this part of the text, you gain a better understanding of the issues and challenges facing today's youth. Some topics are self-concept and identity, sex roles, relating to parents and peers, establishing personal values and a philosophy of life, choosing an occupation, and hazards in the adolescent experience. An appendix that deals with communicating in small groups provides basic concepts related to group dynamics as well as advice and suggestions for facilitating such discussions.
Good educators realize the importance of knowing and relating to their audience.
Unfortunately, many of us in Extension have had little training in working with youth audiences. Inc. ISSN 1077-5315. Articles appearing in the Journal become the property of the Journal.
