Between: A guide for parents of eight to thirteen-year-olds

Product Information

We take their backchat, rudeness and refusal to listen or do what we tell them to do as an indication that they are lacking in respect for us and we meet it with punishments, chastisements and consequences. I passionately believe that all parents should teach their tweens to be financially literate and allow them to learn to earn, save, spend, donate and budget money in the safety of the family home from a young age. Smith has some good points: how the brain rewires itself during puberty, how tween behaviors that drive parents nuts aren't intentional, and about the "psi" method of gentle discipline/coaching based parenting. Between also offers advice on coping with your own feelings as your child moves through this busy developmental period, and how to let go and give them wings to fly. Between is the handbook that will guide you across the bridge from childhood into adolescence, together with your child.

Full of practical tips, information, easy to understand, logical, well structured and just really fab. This supportive guide provides step-by-step advice for a compassionate and emotionally aware process—one that focuses on positive connection rather than relying on gimmicks, pressure, or rewards (which usually backfire). I even reached out to her directly with a question and she said oh they aren't advice books and tried to sell me another book. ClSarah Ockwell-Smith utilizes neuroscience, the psychology of child development and real-world scenarios for a very informative guide. No book about tweens would be complete without a chapter on screen time, or ‘how to get your child off their games console’ and Chapter 10 is just that. We really must not leave our tweens’ financial instruction to their formal education because it is severely lacking in schools. Chapter 12 is all about financial literacy, which I believe it is vitally important; yet it’s something that is just not discussed with tweens in our society.

Throughout this book, we will constantly examine your relationship with your child and why it matters so very much, especially in Chapters 2 and 3, where we will discuss common problematic tween behaviours and what tweens really want (and need) to grow into happy and secure teens and adults. And once puberty is well established and the teen years are imminent, the challenges of parenthood change yet again, with a new quest for independence, changing schooling, friendships and peer interactions bringing fresh concerns.My friend who followed S O-S religiously ended up with a child who now has major sleep issues, gets up at 4am for the day, is constantly exhausted and it shows.

Pirmais - par to, ka visupirms pieaugušajiem jāstrādā ar sevi un savām reakcijām, to cēloņiem un tikai pēc tam jāmēģina mainīt mazo pusaudžu uzvedība. Advice abounds from multiple sources for the first five years of parenting, the beginning of childhood, you may say, yet it starts to tail off when children start school. The first book in a generation to look at boys' specific needs, parents loved its clarity and warm insights into their sons' inner world. In fact, many of today’s sleep ‘problems’ with young babies and children predominantly occur in the developed world. Finally, on the relationship front, Chapter 6 looks at romantic associations, consent and diversity in sexuality – subjects it’s never too early to discuss with your tween, yet which are often delayed and avoided by so many.This is a timely book, a blend of childcare history, sociology, psychology and current affairs and pop-culture coverage, aiming to raise awareness of a much undiscussed issue, but one that will surely be spoken of increasingly in the future. For parents with toddlers and older children, Sarah includes advice on picky eating and food refusal, overeating, snacking and navigating eating at school, while parents of tweens and teens will find information on dieting, peer pressure, promoting a positive body image and preparing children for future eating independence. Between considers all the issues faced by parents and tweens today, with a focus on the biology, neurology, psychology and sociology of adolescence as well as plenty of practical parenting advice for common everyday situations.
