  Based on a large body of research about healthy development in children ages 8–12, this guide offers parents practical how-tos for handling issues that arise in the preteen years, including peer pressure, bullying, friendship, self-discipline, money, body image, and good eating habits. In addition, a self-care section for parents highlights the many stresses adults face—job demands, financial pressures, isolation, perfectionism, and self-doubt—and urges parents to attend to their own needs. Sympathetic and respectful to both children and parents, the guide never suggests that kids this age are troublesome. Real-life parenting stories are included to encourage and inspire, along with parenting tips, self-reflection checklists, and resources for additional support. Kate Thomsen, MS, is an educational consultant and rehabilitation counselor who worked for many years at the Onondaga-Cortland-Madison Board of Cooperative Educational Services in Syracuse, New York, where she was involved in providing staff development for schools on topics related to emotional literacy, positive youth development, and high-risk issues. She has taught graduate-level courses at Syracuse University and is the author of Building Resilient Students and Service Learning in Grades K-8. She lives in Jamesville, New York. |
