Do you know a girl who behaves like a “cave kid” or a boy who is dreading the middle school years? Free Spirit Publishing has got you covered. Don’t Behave Like You Live in a Cave and the newly updated Too Old for This, Too Young for That! offer solid information and sound advice delivered with a light touch.
For Behavior Breakdowns
Help kids make smarter choices at home and at school with Don’t Behave Like You Live in a Cave by Elizabeth Verdick (Free Spirit Publishing, $8.95), a kid-friendly pocket book that takes a positive approach to behavior issues. Better behavior isn’t just about making adults happy. When kids ages 8–13 make smart behavior choices, they stay out of trouble, feel good about themselves, and get along better with family, friends, and teachers. That leads to self-control, awareness, and a positive outlook, so things go better for kids—leading to fewer behavior problems and more freedom—and fun! Part of the best-selling, award-winning Laugh & Learn™ series.
For Middle School Muddles
With bodies changing at lightning speed and school suddenly full of new responsibilities, choices, and expectations, the middle school years can be a handful for even the most together kid. Too Old for This, Too Young for That! Your Survival Guide for the Middle School Years (Updated 2nd Edition) written by Harriet S. Mosatche, Ph.D., and Karen Unger, M.A. (Free Spirit Publishing, $15.99), is a fun and friendly step-by-step handbook that helps tweens ages 10–14 navigate these exciting, tumultuous “middle” years. Using real-kid quotes, quizzes, lists, and cartoons, the authors have organized their book around seven middle school survival tips—each with its own chapter of helpful information, strategies, anecdotes, and print and online resources. This updated edition also includes advice for managing new technologies so prevalent in kids’ lives today.
