{"product_id":"9781570253201","title":"Managing Moods for Teens","description":"Teen years can be extremely difficult, even in the best of circumstances. During these years emotions can be intense, and changes in mood occur very rapidly. Some of these feelings will be positive. One the other hand, some may also be negative and bring forth feelings of sadness, restlessness and irritability. It is usual to feel these types of negative feelings every now and then, but when these moody feelings last for weeks, months, or even years, it is a sign of a more serious mood issue. When teens find themselves taking little joy in activities they have previously enjoyed, appearing increasingly more irritable, and feeling fatigue and a general loss of energy, they may be experiencing symptoms of more serious problems that require assessment and treatment by a medical professional. \u003cp\u003eIn order to help teens successfully deal with moodiness, it is extremely helpful for facilitators to have a variety of appealing, user-friendly assessments and activities to help teens “open-up” and begin to feel as if their moods are less intense and more balanced, and that they are not alone. The Managing Moods Workbook for Teens provides assessments and self-guided activities to help teens reduce the intensity of moodiness and begin living more effective and fulfilling lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe five chapters include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow Moody Are You? \u003cbr\u003eThis section will help teens identify the depth of their moodiness and identify ways to decrease the intensity of this moodiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEffects of Moodiness \u003cbr\u003eThis section will help teens identify the ways that moodiness is affecting their health, relationships, work and social activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMood Triggers\u003cbr\u003eThis section will help teens identify the ways that they experience moodiness in their lives through feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoller Coaster Moods\u003cbr\u003eThis section will help teens identify the effects of mood instabilities in their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErasing the Stigma of Moodiness\u003cbr\u003eThis section will help teens explore the stigma of moodiness in their lives and the impact that the stigma has on them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whole Person Associates, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49787284881648,"sku":"9781570253201","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781570253201","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
