Love Notes to Young Teenage Men: Especially Those Who Look Like My Son...

Love Notes for Teenage Boys is a composition of letters written by a mother, wife, musician, educator, and counselor who sees a unique brilliance, beauty, and unlimited potential in every child. The author shares her candid and heartfelt sentiments and words of encouragement with the teenage boy, hoping that affirmation and optimistic awareness continues to grow in his thought process. This book can be used to help foster a conversational tool that can lead to more uplifting and constructive interactions between the young male and his peers and the way he sees and interacts with others. This collection of notes also reminds the teenage boy of his positive and influential self concept. It should never be forgotten that it is his birthright to not only sit at the table of life, but partake in its privileges as well.
