Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
This is a significantly revised edition of Youth: The Years From Ten to Sixteen , published in 1956. The revision follows the somewhat tedious format of the original, which gives a chronological analysis of white middle-class American youth. It differs from the original in that ages 15 and 16 are excluded and current issues such as smoking, sexual activity, and drugs are discussed. Comparing adolescents today with those of the 1950s, the new work finds, interestingly, that adolescents' attitudes have remained relatively constant. This is a timely work; the statistics collected should be sobering to many parents and teachers. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries. Kim Banks, Co lumbia Univ. Libs., New York

3.0 out of 5 stars Dated, January 23, 2000
By Karen L. Vandusen "cloudpeak" (Woodinville, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've read all the other books in this series. Usually, these books have insightful information about a child's developmental stages. This book tries to do the same; however, I think that the authors grouped too many age groups together. There's a BIG difference between ten-year olds and fourteen-year olds. Much of the information seemed dated (it was from the 1970s).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Teacher and Parent Says, "Buy This One!", September 14, 2000
By John J Skinner (St Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews
Information is provided about the common developmental traits of ten to fourteen year olds. This book is intended to be used as a handbook for parents. It is easy to read, not a dry textbook. Your child is changing. (You know this SO well!) What might be next? Areas of development presented include physical, social, emotional, school life, interests, and ethics. I refer to my copy often as a sixth grade teacher and the proud parent of a fourteen year old.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best parent book ever!, January 9, 2002
By "ehlerts5" (South Lyon, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This book gives you both physical and emotional milestones of children in this age group separated by gender. It maps how to read your child's moods and changes. As well as physical changes in devlopment--like the inherent clumsiness of puberty. I read or re-read sections when I get to a new stage with each my 3 children. This book has warned me of danger spots--especially emotionally and calmed my concerns when I could see it was 'just normal'. I've read each book from 1 year to 14 and found them to be fabulous mounds of information.
