Getting Ready For The Cactus Years

The pre-teen years are a challenge for parents as well as for children. The ages between 9 and 13 are also called the “overlooked years” – a time where children are supposedly easy to handle and do not really pose a parenting challenge. The kids are caught in the gap between childhood and the alluring and unsettling world of adolescence. Puberty is on the horizon. And that is unsettling for parents as well. How can they meet these upcoming challenges when their little sweetheart morphs into a communication holdout? Relationships are key in this book. And you will learn how to provide your kids with the necessary comfort and freedom to master the transition from child to teen.
