Oh my god, parents are watching, got to go.
Today’s text-messaging middle schoolers may seem like a different species from how parents remember themselves as sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. Children are often forced to confront serious issues like drugs, violence, sexuality, and technology at an age that would have been unthinkable even a decade ago. So it’s natural for parents to worry about these crucial years. Still, educator Joe Bruzzese believes that this time can be full of positive transformation as your child gains independence and your parental role shifts from omnipresent manager to supportive coach. Timely topics include cyberbullying, depression, and choosing realistic and rewarding extracurricular activities.
The middle school years can and should be a time of exciting change and opportunity; A Parents’ Guide to the Middle School Years presents what you need to know to survive and thrive as a family.

      This short, easy-to-read guide for parents about middle-school kids deals with making friends, being online, doing well in school, balancing school with outside activities, understanding teachers, and thriving as a familyall hot-button topics that can quickly go awry and make the middle-school years difficult for children and parents. Bruzzese (education, Univ. of California, Santa Barbara) understands kids and communicates well through this concise guide. He argues that the family computer should be in a central, visible spot, not in middle schoolers' bedrooms; time online must be limited. In addition, parents need to remember that their kids need them (though they're rarely asked for advice) and that family activitieseven though they're often met with "Do I have to?"are vital. This book is not stuffed with case studies, chatty stories, or horrific went-wrongs; instead, t's a to-the-point guide for parents and should be well used.Linda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, PA
