X’IRRID?

X’Irrid? is a new publication by Natasha Turner aimed at a teenage audience from thirteen years of age and over. The topics tackled and the information included in this book make it a unique and comprehensive tool to develop essential lifeskills. One mentions important information on the physical and emotional changes that teenagers go through during puberty. This is a difficult period for parents also and the latter stand to gain a better understanding of teenage behaviour in reading this book – a plus where character formation and friction in the parent-child relationship is concerned.

It is a known fact that puberty is associated with a roller-coaster as it brings with it a lot of mixed feelings that could emotionally disturb some teenagers especially if they are not mentally prepared for them. That is why the author helps teenagers become aware of what they are going through in order to help them build a stronger identity. Turner also places an emphasis on self-esteem and self-confidence as it is very common amongst teenagers to suffer from low-self esteem. Other topics supply the reader with indispensable information on sex education and the fears and doubts that troubled teenagers experience. Drug awareness and the effects of abuse are also given importance. The author’s advice: one should find satisfaction in expressing one’s talent rather than resorting to abuse as a means of venting stress.

Personal and social topics cover a major part of X’Irrid. Turner uses real life situations as exemplary advice with the scope of aiding teenagers from falling into the typical and repetitive pattern of regrettable decisions.

X’Irrid is available from all leading book shops and stationers or by contacting Sierra Book Distributors on 2137 8576 / 2737 8576 or sales@sierra-books.com Delivery to any local address is free of charge.
