₹100.00Author: Prateek Srivastava, Vaishali K, H Vinod Bhat, Suzanne Broadbent.
Protecting and nurturing adolescents is of fundamental importance to any family. However, adolescents and parents in different communities face unique challenges in understanding adolescent health due to various factors. Despite their intention to meet the demand for a healthy adolescent lifestyle, there is a lack of resources, an increase in unhealthy eating, and negative changes in lifestyle habits. In this context, it is essential to ponder upon the question, “What does it mean to be healthy for an adolescent?”. This sourcebook provides a holistic understanding of aspects like growth, nourishment, stability in environment, overcoming emotional barriers, and providing support for mental health. It is a guide for both parents and adolescents, and approaches the foundational question from the caregiver and the adolescent perspectives. The authors sincerely believe that investing in children is one of the vital things a society can do to build a better future.
