My Life As a Middle School Mom: My Kids may be Deductible, but They're Still Taxing!

Angela Elwell Hunt has worked with middle schoolers for 20 years, but it's her parenting experience that qualifies her as an expert on tweens. With humor and compassion she offers support to parents of children who are at that awkward stage between childhood and adolescence. Hunt does a thorough job of describing the problems, circumstances, and situations affecting children of middle school age--everything from academics to zits. Hunt maints that tweens need special attention because today's children are growing up faster than yesterday's. Parents need to give firm guidance to counteract the effects of the media. . . Frustrated parents will take comfort in the knowledge that the growing pains of tweens are typical and temporary. Though you could read the book from cover to cover in a couple of sittings, you'll want to keep it handy for future reference. --CHRISTIAN HOME AND SCHOOL, December 2000Read more
