Part of a dynamic, five-part parenting series, this paperback release will be instantly recognized by readers who trust the Babywise and Childwise books for wisdom on childrearing. Moving into the preteen years, parents of eight- to twelve-year-olds face the challenge of transition from using adult authority to leveraging the power of personal influence to motivate their middle-years youth. Gary Ezzo and pediatrician Robert Bucknam give parents fathering/mothering communication tips and effective ways to insulate their child from peer "groupthink." They discuss seven warning flags and how to respond to them. This is a book for all parents seeking an atmosphere of mutual respect in the home, non-rebellious teen years, and a future friendship with their grown child.

Best author of Child rearing curriculum I have found

I have known many families that have raised their children accouding the principals taught by the Ezzo's and most of them have delightful children. Gary is human and I disagree with a few of his ideas, but his curriculum is the best I have found.

Chew the hay and spit out the sticks

I have read most of the "On Becoming" books by Garry Ezzo. I'm actually ordering a replacement. We have kids ranging in age from 14 to still in the womb. I have found his books so helpful at every stage. I may not agree 100% with some of what he suggests, so you eat the hay and spit out the sticks! Without fail each of his books have practical suggestions to use in challenging situations with our children. I'll try rephrasing something as he suggests and lo and behold...it works! Life made a little simpler. We are a home schooling family and our kids are very well adjusted. They are developing thier own "moral shelves" and Gods grace has been awsome. We have applied many of the principles in these books and have found them most helpful and encouraging. I reccomment them in a heartbeat!

Useful information for this critical stage

My wife and I got the workbook and tapes of this entry into the Ezzo's famous "-Wise" series, and were very happy with it. We used their BabyWise principles with our little ones, and found it solid ground for our parenting. Now they are in school and getting more independent every day. We returned the tried and true "Ezzo books" as my wife calls them.

We particularly liked the teachings on moving toward "influence" as the child grows. No longer does the child spend most of his time at home, but outside the home - where direct control and supervision is not possible. As Christians, we also took comfort in their direction to helping our children be Godly young men.

The teenage years can be the best!
