We Collide for Teens

We Collide for Teens: Keeping Your C.O.O.L. is an encouraging must-read, with relevant story-telling for teens, parents, and teachers. It helps you understand and differentiate between behaviors that are appropriate during conflict and those that are not, how to communicate better in these moments, and how to recognize the relationships that are worth fighting for. The goal is not to avoid ever having a collision, conflict, or hurt of any kind. The goal is to learn how to navigate it better by equipping and encouraging young adults to do the work not only to manage it, but to also manage themselves better while they go through it. The C.O.O.L. tool serves as a reminder to keep CALM under pressure, investigate your OPTIONS, be your ORIGINAL self, and LEAD by example. By the end of the last page, teens, parents, and teachers will know: Even when we collide, we can still keep our C.O.O.L.!
