5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and extremely helpful, May 26, 2000

By	Deborah Raney (Midwestern United States) - See all my reviews

"Angela Hunt takes a down-to-earth, common sense look at parenting kids through the awkward middle school years. Though the book is chock full of practical information and statistics, it manages to be highly entertaining as well, with real stories of real families' experiences. The alphabetical arrangement of topics is clever andvery helpful since this book is bound to be used over and over as a reference. What an encouragement this will be for parents just entering the 'tween' years with their children. Hunt does a wonderful job of answering those nagging questions of 'what's normal?' vs. 'what should I be concerned about?'

5.0 out of 5 stars Frustrated parents, take note!, December 6, 2000

By A Customer

Angela Elwell Hunt has worked with middle schoolers for 20 years, but it's her parenting experience that qualifies her as an expert on tweens. With humor and compassion she offers support to parents of children who are at that awkward stage between childhood and adolescence. Hunt does a thorough job of describing the problems, circumstances, and situations affecting children of middle school age--everything from academics to zits. Hunt maints that tweens need special attention because today's children are growing up faster than yesterday's. Parents need to give firm guidance to counteract the effects of the media. . . Frustrated parents will take comfort in the knowledge that the growing pains of tweens are typical and temporary. Though you could read the book from cover to cover in a couple of sittings, you'll want to keep it handy for future reference. --CHRISTIAN HOME AND SCHOOL, December 2000
