Think Confident, Be Confident for Teens offers young readers a teen-focused, breakthrough program for eliminating self-doubt and increasing confidence and self-esteem. Studies show that self-confidence plummets during the teenage years, when complex social relationships begin to take center stage and teens begin to assert their independence from parents and families. As a result, teens become more vulnerable to peer pressure, self-doubt, depression, and anxiety. Think Confident, Be Confident for Teens is a cognitive therapy guide teens can use to recognize and reframe self-doubt and "give up" thoughts in order to replace them with more confident, positive thoughts about themselves. The authors adapt the strategies from their book Think Confident, Be Confident to situations teens face: social life, performing at school and work, family life, and difficult life events.
