Understanding Your 10 Year-Old (Understanding Your Child - The Tavistock Clinic Series)

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing
Review: I've read and enjoyed other books in this series. But the last one I read was for 5 year-olds. Since then, parenting has been a joy. But as my son approaches his 10th birthday, his behavior lately has been baffling. A dizzying array of being un-reasonable, clinging, forgetful, competent, independent and non-responsive. I ordered this book for help. It gave me one or two clues, but it seemed like it was written while the author was waiting for a bus. The book was very shallow, much too brief, with frustratingly incomplete case studies. I read the whole book in about 20 minutes. I felt ripped off. There has to be something better out there about understanding 9-11 year-olds.
