Growing Up Too Fast

PRODUCT DETAILS

By Sylvia Rimm, PhD.
A leading child psychologist reveals the results of an unprecedented survey of America’s pre-teens and helps parents deal with the troubling findings. Through instant messaging, cell phones, and e-mail, today’s middle schoolers hide their real lives from their parents. This book reveals the startling truth about what these youngsters are really up to. While parents remember high school as the time when they encountered sex, drugs, body image issues, and other “teenage” problems, today’s kids face these pressures in middle school. In fact, some are confronting “teen” issues by age 9 or 10. In Growing Up Too Fast, Dr. Rimm shows parents exactly what they can do to help their kids with modern pressures and will show parents how to lead today’s new breed of adolescents to a bright and promising future. 301 pages, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".
