Get teens talking with 'The Diary Deck'
 |
Diary Project founder Judi Shils is taking the ideas from the computer to something more tangible, a deck of cards called "The Diary Deck" (Chronicle Books, 2003, $14.95). Consisting of 50 flash cards in a box, the deck includes a sampling from journals about everything from body image to drugs, sexuality, friendship and stress.
The author says it's a powerful tool for parents, teachers and counselors to use to prompt discussions.
