Customer Reviews

Family first aid....

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.

Thoughts from a middle school teacher

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.

Useful for parent and child

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.

Everything Tween Book

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.

A good book for a hard age

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.
