Réussir ton adolescence – Jean-Marie Petitclerc, French Talk CD

Time to listen during the teenage years

Growing up brings questions and a wish to be understood. Réussir ton adolescence offers encouragement from Jean-Marie Petitclerc, a priest and street educator. This 70-minute talk in French invites listeners to reflect on the changes experienced during adolescence and to look at this time with greater confidence.

An educator’s experience with young people

Jean-Marie Petitclerc introduces his background, discusses Saint John Bosco and the young people he supported, then addresses the changes of adolescence. His approach emphasises encouragement and closeness to young people. Recorded at a youth gathering in 2005, the talk retains the character of an address to that audience.

Listen at your own pace and share with care

A teenager can choose a moment to discover the talk, pause it and return later. For a parent or someone close to a young person, the CD can also provide a starting point for listening together and opening a conversation. Leave room for each person’s response and their own words about growing up.
