An important book that investigates the development of our girls from ten to teenager and the fact that this shift is happening much earlier than ever before.
At ten, we know how girls are pigeonholing themselves into wat they think they should be. Whether they see themselves as academic or not, whether they are interested in boys, puberty is a reality, friendship fights are underway, and the influence of social media is impacting. With heightened pressure from what they see in the media, in movies and on TV, our girls are leaving childhood behind well before they hit their teens. Not surprisingly, emotions can be heightened and relationships can be fraught. So many parents struggle to understand the pressures our girls are under and how to deal with their emotional volatility. Journalist and social commentator Madonna King has an extraordinary ability to connect with experts, schools and the girls themselves to deliver the answers parents need and the communication our girls want.
TEN-AGER is the perfect guide to help parents understand how their daughter is feeling, what they need to know, what to say and when to stay silent and listen.
