Book excerpt: Teenagers are constantly looked upon with expectations to excel in all areas of life and transform into successful adults. They are expected to excel in studies, sports, arts, on stage, behavior, etiquettes, and the list is never-ending. But, the year 2020 (the pandemic) taught us that, all that matters most, is a ‘happy and healthy life’. This brought in a total shift in our mindsets and behaviors. Similarly, society needs to bring a paradigm shift towards our children, especially teenagers, to redefine our age-old definition of ‘Successful Teenage’. It is important to first understand teenagers, then work towards simplifying their journey; thus, successful teenage can be pursued. This book helps you with some real insights, details and practical solutions supported with real stories from the day-to-day lives of teenagers and their families to nurture and simplify your teenager’s journey and support them. Welcome to the journey of Simplifying Teenage!
