Filled with practical advice for parents, this book provides the tools to guide your child through this pivotal period. Raising a child in the 'in-between' age can often make you feel like a novice parent again. Children at this stage seem to change almost daily, leaving many parents struggling to understand the child they thought they knew so well. In "Between," parenting expert and mother of four Sarah Ockwell-Smith uses a unique blend of biology, psychology, and sociology of adolescence as a basis for practical advice you can use to help your child transition from childhood to adulthood.

The book explores key issues such as:

• Why tweens can often be moody, rude, lazy, and impulsive - and how to deal with their behavior
• What exactly happens during puberty - and when and how to talk to your tween about it
• How to navigate friendships and romantic relationships during the tween years
• How to encourage good mental health and body image
• Managing screen time and avoiding common pitfalls
• Supporting the transition to high school

"Between" also offers advice on dealing with your own feelings as your child goes through this busy developmental period and how to let them soar. The tween years can be a challenging time for both parents and children, but your openness and support are key to building the relationship you will have with your child for the rest of their life. "Between" is the guide that will help you cross the bridge from childhood to adolescence, along with your child.
