This handbook, based on the author's doctoral research, consists of four chapters and offers a deeper insight specifically into the world of female adolescents from the PYD perspective in the European and Slovenian context. The work presents the holistic development of female adolescents especially in their leisure time, with theoretical and practical aspects complementing each other in an organic way, with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary research for the well-being of young people, as well as for the benefit of youth policies and practices.The work of Barbara Poredoš possesses inherent value in its unwavering focus on the often overlooked realm of female adolescents.The narrative traverses the developmental landscape, starting with an insightful exploration of adolescence through sociohistorical lenses, progressing to an examination of relational developmental systems, and culminating in a detailed exploration of leisure time and its impact on female positive youth development (PYD). An undeniable strength of this work lies in its innovative linkage of PYD with the Preventive System of Don Bosco, an educational paradigm that has stood the test of time. In conclusion, the preface extends a heartfelt invitation to educators, researchers and all those invested in the well-being of adolescents.
