About this audiobook
Raising a tween can leave you feeling like a parenting beginner all over again. Children in the 'between' stage seem to change daily, leaving many parents struggling to understand the child they once thought they knew so well. In Between, parenting expert and mother of four Sarah Ockwell-Smith uses a unique blend of the biology, psychology, and sociology of adolescence as the basis for practical parenting advice that you can use to help your child through the transition from childhood to adulthood.
It explores key issues, including: why tweens can be moody, rude, lazy, and impulsive-and how to cope with their behavior; what happens during puberty-and when and how to talk to your tween about it; how to navigate friendships and romantic relationships in the tween years; how to encourage good mental health and body image; managing screen time and avoiding common pitfalls; and supporting the transition to secondary school.
Between also offers advice on coping with your own feelings as your child moves through this developmental period. The tween years can be a difficult period for parent and child alike, but your openness and support is key to building the relationship that you will have with your child for the rest of their life. Between will guide you across the bridge from childhood into adolescence, together with your child.
