Description
Raising a tween can be a challenging experience for parents. The 'between' stage, where children transition from childhood to adolescence, can be particularly difficult to navigate. Sarah Ockwell-Smith, a parenting expert and mother of four, offers practical advice to help parents guide their child through this period. Her approach is based on a unique blend of biology, psychology, and sociology, exploring key issues such as the reasons behind tweens' moodiness, how to cope with their behaviour, and how to support their mental health and body image. The book also provides guidance on managing screen time, navigating friendships and romantic relationships, and supporting the transition to secondary school. By reading Between, parents can gain the tools and confidence to build a strong, supportive relationship with their child as they move through this busy developmental period.
