THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
Q: You seem to advocate for using all manner of group experience exercises, activities and interventions instead of just talking to children and adolescents to help them. Why? A: Talking often just doesn't work. If just talking to a child or teen reliably yielded results, then there would be no need for other options, but especially with adolescents, and any youngster who is oppositional and resistant, this type of tailored help is critical. (Continued below-- click here) 
Here's why varied intervention methods work so much faster and better than mere talking. Our activities, interventions, tricks, strategies and tips for adolescents, for example, are especially designed to "turn the light on" over the kid's head since directly attempting to convince that teen may be fruitless. When children and adolescents face serious problems, such as child abuse or neglect, for example, techniques that are not "just talk" allow you to ease the child or youth into insights that they otherwise might have resisted. Another example: children and teens who have attachment problems, or are labeled as attachment disordered, may be especially resistant to insight, and indirect approaches may accomplish far more than conventional talking. The truth is talking is easy for adults to do. Using alternative intervention methods takes more work. Using methods that work the best, can mean more work for the adults. Conventional approaches like talk, may not work as well, but they can seem like far less hassle. So many youth workers are so utterly overworked and overwhelmed, it is understandable that the "quickest" path is often taken, but that path takes a lot longer. The irony is that the more difficult course is the fastest way to the destination. Updated, new methods may take a little bit longer but they work much faster, and with many more types of kids. If you find that you are having less impact on your youngsters, you may be on the wrong path. Moving to the right path can make an immediate difference. There are just so many youngsters who do not match up well with primarily verbal approaches. Some of these youngsters are mentioned above, but the list could go on and on. Perhaps the most graphic example though is children who have autistic characteristics, or have been diagnosed as autistic. These children may so much more readily become involved via some of our fun, engaging, non-traditional methods, but can be completely unaffected by talk-based approaches. That autistic child might be engaged in a game, or in making a drawing, or participating in a contest, but can easily shun an activity that was limited to just talking. Because our interventions use every "access channel" to reach a child or adolescent, they may offer your troubled, challenged or abused youth, the type of help they really need. Even if adults don't want to acknowledge it, the truth is "just talking" doesn't work for all children and teens. Another example: when children face terrible child abuse, perhaps living with current physical, emotional or sexual abuse, it can take a lot more than words to reach through to that child. Our methods are specifically tailored to assist every and any youngster, no matter what the obstacle or barrier or challenge. If you want our most comprehensive answers, then choose our Breakthrough Strategies to Teach and Counsel Troubled Youth Conference on DVD (shown below.) It has 10 hours of answers, 200 interventions and hundreds of printable worksheets-- all the resources you need to turnaround all challenged youth and children.

Here are some startling facts that you may not know about living life without education.
Here is a peek into the real story about what
happens if you don't finish school. These are facts you may want to share with your
students. Dropouts get stuck with the jobs no one else wants, often the most
undesirable jobs. Look at how you can dramatically convey that information by viewing our
Poster #16, click here for details.
A few more facts about life without a degree. Dropouts earn the least of everyone else, and their pay is shrinking by about 1/2% annually. Even worse, a typical dropout can afford about 2/3 of a new car if they work a single job. That's before even thinking about food and housing. The world is getting increasingly inhospitable to dropouts. Being a dropout is like having no coat in Buffalo in winter. Shouldn't your students know that? And, don't you think that your students would view school utterly differently if they knew that? Like these interventions?
