Excellent read for any parent who has a desire to understand the adolescent transformation of their child. Easy topics, great information, and written in a spirit of understanding. Even today, in 2016, some truths remain constant. As I observe my grandchildren I am reminded what I originally learned at first read. Enjoy!!
[Note: the title on Goodreads is incorrect. It is "Tweenager" not teenager} A good helpful book for parents about raising their kids in their 10 through 12 years.
