Navigating the Tween Years:

Posted by Barbara Gibson Jan 7, 2007

Each phase of a child's life comes with its own special challenges and the tween years are no exception. Enter Vicki Courtney. Courtney has written a book, "Between: A Girl's Guide to Life."

The 150 page book "...attempts to battle negative forces swirling around girls and give them a feel-good self-esteem boost."

Courtney, herself a mom to three teenagers, shares ideas that both parents and tweens will cheer. From the importance of setting boundaries and the inclusion of bible verses in the book to a no-nonsense glimpse at what models really look like before air-brushing and positive affirmations to help girls build confidence, "Between: A Girl's Guide to Life," might just prevent wrong turns.
