Several years ago a new word describing another community of children became part of our vocabulary “TWEENS” Thefreedictionary.com defines a Tween as
tween (tw
n) n.
Tweens are finding there way to being teenagers yet caught between still wanting to be kids and wanting to to be treated as mini teens. As a parent you may be asking yourself How do we communicate with them? Their bodies are changing how do I talk to them about it? Are there really mean girls in my Tweens school? Why does my tween seem so scattered brained? and many other questions about your Tweens. Last week I participated in moderating one of the chats during the Tween Academy sponsored by Unilever held at The Motherhood website along with several other mom bloggers. They had four different chats with author Rosalind Wiseman, parenting expert and New York Times bestselling author of Queen Bees and Wannabes the chats were informative and full of great tips and tricks for us parents who have Tween roaming our halls. I left the conversation feeling equipped and ready to face my Tween journey.
