Ten-Ager by Madonna King

$32.99 AUD

Available Stock:
20

Category: Teenagers

An important book that shows that 10 is the new start of a girl's teenage years. It raises the issues our girls might not be talking about publicly, and guides their parents on how experts believe we should deal with it.At ten, we know how girls are pigeonholing themselves into what they think they shou ld 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. ...Show more

Category: Parenting & Family

Age range 3 to 6 Change and transitions are hard, but Say Goodbye...Say Hello demonstrates how, when one experience ends, it opens the door for another to begin. It follows two best friends as they say goodbye to snowmen, and hello to stomping in puddles. They say goodbye to long walks, butterflies, and the sun...and hello to long evening talks, fireflies, and the stars. But the hardest goodbye of all comes when one of the friends has to move away. Feeling alone isn't easy, and sometimes new beginnings take time. But even the hardest days come to an end, and you never know what tomorrow will bring. '...delivers a powerful message about difficult goodbyes in a deft and moving manner. Sublime!’ — Publishers Weekly ‘Doerrfeld is carving a lovely niche with sweet, deeply attuned books for the littlest audience…wonderfully soft, jaunty illustrations convey the spark and vulnerability of the preschool years.’ — New York Times Book Review ...Show more
