Children aged between 8 and 12 - 'tweenies' - are fast emerging as a force to be reckoned with. Gaining in confidence, expecting more freedom, and increasingly targeted commercially, they present many new and challenging issues for parents. But getting the relationship right during these important years can build a rewarding trust and openness that will see you through the rocky teenage years ahead.
Parenting expert and writer Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer has written a straight-talking book that is invaluable to all parents facing the tweenie stage. Giving sound advice that is firmly rooted in the real world and based on a clear understanding of tweenies' needs, she explains how staying close to our children while beginning to let go helps us achieve the balance that is so important for the parent-child relationship.
Tackling everyday issues of real concern, 'Talking To Tweenies' offers practical, down-to-earth and reassuring guidance on: pester power and money matters; self-discipline, consideration and kindness; peer pressure and bullying; body image and healthy eating; sex and puberty; family disruptions; risk, danger and responsibility; school problems and work pressure; and nurturing self-esteem and identity.
