The junior-high years are a time of incredible physical and emotional changes, and this-combined with the pressures of family, friendships and school-can make young people feel as if their lives are out of control. As a youth leader, how can you help your group members handle all of the changes and stress? Dealing with Pressure and Change will give you the tools you need to get your young people discussing these issues so they can face stressful situations at school, understand the rapid changes occurring inside them, remain connected to God through ups and downs, and support their friends during trying times. Twelve sessions of kid-friendly activities and exercises will help your junior-highers realize that God walks beside them, no matter what situation they are facing or their stress level. Each study also includes downloadable, reproducible student handouts and additional options for every session-find out how inside. Book jacket.
