Did you know that your child is in the most rapid period of development since toddlerhood?
If your child is between the ages of nine and twelve, you are in the throes of the ‘between’ years. Not quite a child and not yet a teenager, tweens embody a very specific stage of development that once understood will revolutionise the way you parent, educate and support those in your care.
TWEENS will help you understand what kids need NOW, before the teenage years.
This book is practical, grounded in research and offers valuable insights from my survey of over 2000 parents and tweens. Together, we will explore your child’s friendship issues, mood swings, confidence crises, technology habits, sibling rivalry, body image concerns, tricky behaviour and the road ahead.
One thing I am sure of – right now, before the full pressures of high school hit, you have a window of opportunity that can change the trajectory of adolescence and beyond. I can’t wait to reassure you that your tween is ready to be switched on to their potential, and every trusted adult in their lives can be a part of that process.
