Product Description

Has your daughter started wearing makeup and thinking about boys—years before you dreamed it could happen? Are you concerned that your son has been acting up and talking back—while you’re sure you should still be his hero?

The Everything® Tween Book, written by child psychologist Dr. Linda Sonna, helps you navigate the trying years between childhood and adolescence. From addressing such serious issues as eating disorders and school violence to learning tolerance for pink and blue hair, The Everything® Tween Book helps you understand and cope with your child’s psychological, social, and emotional needs.

The Everything® Tween Book provides sound, professional advice on:

·Understanding—and dealing with—rebellion
·Improving communication
·Disciplining
·Managing sibling spats
·Helping your tween face peer pressure

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything Tween Book, April 10, 2003
By lois mark (Dallas TX) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book for a hard age, April 10, 2003
By A Customer
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Where's the substance?, May 17, 2005
By R. Clark "lexingtonguy" (Lexington, KY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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?!

5.0 out of 5 stars 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. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughts from a middle school teacher

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.
