Inside the Teenage Mind Rabbi David Schlusselberg

How much do we really know about what our teenagers are thinking and experiencing? As parents and educators, we strive our best to understand them, but the frum teen’s inner world is complicated and nuanced—and they don’t usually share their day-to-day life with us, in or out of school. Written by an experienced mechanech and covering topics that include spiritual development and responsible choices, Inside the Teenage Mind equips both parents and educators with the insight they need to raise healthy, positive, and religiously committed teenagers.
