Summary: A Parenting Must-Have Book
Review: "Tween Time" is an enlightening and inspiring approach to the "tween" years. The importance of these years is often overlooked by both parents and pediatricians alike because most kids are "easier" during these years - no longer a young child, more independent, healthy, curious, eager to learn, but not YET a pubertal teen. These years, though, are the crucial foundation for teen, young adult, and adult life. Much of what occurs during these years will be part of a child's character forever. Creative, attentive, involved parenting during the years is the vital key to later success. This book deveops and shapes that key. A Must-Have for Parents of Tweens!

Summary: A Great Little Book
Review: As a mother of three boys (two are tweens), I really enjoyed reading this book for ideas of ways to spend truly quality time with them. The ideas are for REAL people. They involve me -- and my kids -- in the community, so we find ways to give to others while giving to ourselves. The illustrations and lay out are also wonderful. It is so fun just to browse through and read tidbits. Congrats to Ginny Bishop and her daughter for creating such a wonderful and timely book... We need to focus more on our Tweens before they become Teens!

Summary: Best Tween Resource
Review: As a mother with a 9-year-old tween son, this book is a life-saver! It offers 52 simple, yet powerful, ways to connect with that child (or children) in your life who still want to be hugged but would never admit it. If you feel like your life is a constant flurry of car pool demands, soccer games, homework battles, and Game Boy restrictions, then this book is for you! I especially love the spa-time suggestions (my son now loves candles with his bath!) and the Mom-Son Adventure Club. We all talk about how fast our children grow up. Here's a terrific resource for slowing time down in order to enjoy those special, once-in-a lifetime moments with your kids before they're teenagers.

Summary: Fantastic ways to celebrate life with kids
Review: Having kids today is a bigger challenge than ever before. Marketers and advertisters are targeting children with so much force to create loyal customers from an early age, it makes it impossible to compete. There are so many 'things' out there for kids to want and need- I feel like so many parents have no choice but to succumb to these pressures. Tween Time is such a refreshing look in to interacting with your kids and getting back to the things that are important in families and in the parent-child relationship. The Tween years are so important- they provide the building blocks to the challenging teen years. Your kids need you more than any toy, TV show, video game, or junk food. Tween Time is a valuable addition to any family library.

Summary: Review
Review: I am a working parent and it never seems like there's enough time in the day to get everything done, much less do fun things with my two tweens. TWEEN TIME is great as a quick reference to simple and FREE ideas that tweens LOVE! I would highly recommend it for parents who are trying to find new and different ways to hang out with their tweens.

Summary: I loved Tween Time!
Review: I have a tween-age daughter and a preschooler.
So I am trying to connect at two very different levels. The preschooler needs alot of one-on-one attention. Which means that
my daughter gets left out sometimes or has to do alot on
her own. It helped to have a resource guide like Tween Time to
stay in touch with my daughter. Many of the ideas are short, inexpensive activities like the Daily Grateful Journal. What I like best in Tween Time is the ongoing journeys that you can
devote 15 minutes to a day and feel like you made your tween feel
special. I recommend Tween Time for any parent with a Tween!

Review: I'm a mother of three (two tweens) and I'm always looking for things to do with each of them alone. Tween Time is great because it gives parents ideas for all types of kids that make them feel special. I have one tween that is athletic and one that is not, and Tween Time had ideas for both! Tween Time is a little gem!
