FROM TWEENS TO TEENS The Parents' Guide to Preparing Girls for Adolescence

Educator and psychotherapist Maria Clark Fleshood aims to help parents smooth their daughters' transition from girlhood to adolescence. Tiffany Williams's narration is so inviting that even parents who are not inclined to adopt new parenting skills will consider her recommendations. For example, Williams gently delivers descriptions of rituals for letting go of fear, worry, frustration, and other negative emotions by writing them on paper or stones and tossing them away. Each activity emphasizes love and acceptance. While listeners will benefit from the quotes of experts like Margaret Mead, it's the case studies of the girls themselves that are the most informative and helpful. Those looking for compassionate ways to help girls mature will benefit from hearing this audiobook. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2016]
