Description
Kids who reach the "tween" years (8-12) experience enormous shifts in their physical, emotional and cognitive development. While some children look in the mirror and see height and strength changes, others may experience awkwardness, clumsiness, weight gain and other characteristics that may make them feel less than "normal" when they compare themselves to their friends.
It's the time for comparisons. They'll attempt to determine if they are as fast, smart, strong, tall, coordinated, etc. For some, this can be scary. Even though kids begin to look to their friends and the internet for many answers, they are very much in need of parental guidance and support.
It's the time to discover the world and ask a 'zillion' questions. Finding the best answers is important to them and to you.
"I'm too short! . . . will I get taller? Why do they have a bigger house than ours? I lost the game . . . why am I such a loser?
It's all about your childs' social awareness. Parents can help to form this 'social landscape' by sharing good answers to these very good questions. "10 Tales to Talk About" Vol. 1 and 2, offers important topics that you'll want to share with them.
Each short tale will stimulate a conversation that you can share together, that is designed to shed some light on the complicated world around us. They can try to learn the answers to their questions from friends, from their devices, or most preferably from you!
