<p>The premise of Promoting Harmony is deceptively simple - "the process of becoming a successful school begins with an understanding of young adolescents and an appreciation for their unique needs." This book shows how teachers, students, and parents can work together in harmony and gives many examples of successful school practices. With chapters on physical, sexual, intellectual, social development, and personal characteristics of young adolescents, this book offers an intimate glimpse into the development of 10- to 15-year-olds and provides essential insights into what their behavior means. Comments throughout the book by young adolescents and their teachers give a refreshing and needed perspective on issues confronting these young people today. This best selling book has been completely rewritten and updated to provide the latest information on growth and development of young adolescents. It is packed with insights about who they are, why they do the things they do, and why they say the things they say. Chapter 5 on responsive school practices is a valuable resource for anyone who lives or works with 10- to 15-year-olds. This practical and inspirational book will positively impact the way others view and respond to young adolescents.</p>
