FC 021: Fitting In vs. Being Yourself - Can We Have it Both Ways? - Guest: Ronit Baras (October 17, 2010)
We're all driven by needs and sometimes our need for acceptance is in direct conflict with our need to be unique. This is especially challenging for tweens and teens who are trying so hard to fit in AND be themselves! In this podcast Annie Fox talks with Ronit Baras, author of "Be Special Be Yourself for Teenagers" (Trafford Publishing, 2006). Ronit shares with us her life experience, her wisdom and her infectious positive attitude about life and raising healthy teens.
