Review # 1 was written on 2009-11-06 00:00:00 Sebastian Bramer For some reason I really hate the word "tween" but so far this book has been right on. It's nice to know that I'm not crazy and neither are my kids. It turns out they're NORMAL and it's all a "tween" thing. Who knew? I liked this book as it really got me thinking about my kids and how I can understand them and relate to them better. As with all parenting books you take what you feel good about and leave the rest for someone else. The last few chapters were a little depressing for me though. It gave alot of statistics and "facts" about the temptations kids face and at what ages. It was sad and scary to think that my kids are getting old enough to know things and be faced with choices already that could change their lives for the worse. I didn't sign up to let my kids grow up so fast, how can I slow it down?

Review # 2 was written on 2010-04-24 00:00:00 Debbie Vondervoort So far...I've learned kind of what I already knew...and still don't like, but hopefully am learning to deal with it better. Example? 'Tweens' see EVERYTHING in black & white, which means they MUST argue over every single little point because they don't understand 'NUANCES'! VERY annoying.
