This book is written for the self contradictory,and the unique
breed The teenagers and the preteens.
The catchy title 150 brilliant Ideas to Keep Young minds Fit and
Fine made me grab it to know how to maintain a positive lifestyle when you have
a teenager at home . This 128 page book by Neera Maini Srivastav is full of
positive ideas to nourish insecure minds.
Teenage or Preteen is such a
time when a child crave for acceptance and face a lot of peer pressure. They
are full of intense emotion and conflict.This is the most challenging time
period for any parents and this book suggests healthy way of
living.
The book is divided in three
sections which includes topics like:
Mind your Body
Mind your Mind
Mind your Spirit
Under each topic there are 50 thoughts
and advice to stay positive in life both mentally, spiritually and physically.
What I like about the book is that the writings are short precise and simple making it interesting for impatient
minds. It is almost like the author is
having conversation with the readers without being preachy.
What I didn't like about the book
Some of the topics has been
repeated in different pages example Sex education.
Some topics I felt are irrelevant for teenagers like playing outside
in the sun for Vitamin D or dare to speak the truth is more suitable to teach
a child than a teenager.
Lastly I think it is difficult to tame a raging hormone. As a
parent it is better not to act impulsively, adding fuel to the fire and creating more problem.
Rating:3/5
