Finally a book that touches on the questions parents of "tweenagers" struggle with daily and offers workable solutions to the problems of homework, sex, drugs, moodiness, peers, etc. Dr. Sonna knows her stuff and shares it in a highly readable and understandable way.
Kids are trying to grow up too fast, acting like teenagers when they're still in elementary school. This book has lots of good advice for keeping kids on a good track at school, and at home, along with tips for sleeping,safety, keeping them off of junk food, and "everything" else. Already my daughter and I are getting along better.
Lots of insight and useful suggestions. My tween is also reading it, and "suggesting" I read certain sections. A lot of good conversations have started that way.
I think looking as this book as overly simplistic misses the point. When your child goes from a calm, sane angel to holy terror overnight, you need to stop the carnage ASAP. This book not only reassures the parents that this is normal behavior for the age but gives you quick stratagies for dealing with the new stranger in your house. I will be happy to read all about that deeper psycological interplay when my daughter is out of the nest.
I guess I expected too much from this book. I couldn't get past the first 30 pages without feeling it was written for Jr. High Family and Health class. Think of it as the "light" version of parenting advice. If that's what you're looking for, here's your book. Examples (with a dose of sarcasm:)Did you know that fat and sugar makes kids fat?!Did you know that kids should wear helmets when skateboarding!?Did you know that kids should dress warmly on a winter's day?!
As a middle school teacher who deals with 11yr olds all day I thought this was a great book. Very light reading, quick and easy but full of good stuff. Linda is "right on" when describing the Tween and gives lots of insightful, useful tips. I highly recommend this for both parents and anyone working with this age group - especially if you are "new" to this age group.
This is a very informative book for parents and their first preteen. My daughter went from little girl to preteen overnight. I was looking for a book to explain the little stranger I am now living with. This has helped understand what she's going through. I would recommend this to parents.
So far a very good easy read. Love all the pointers and is already helping with my two tween daughters! Planning on finishing this week. Love having on my iPad vs the physical book. On iPad can read on the go the physical book is a little more bulky and not possible.
