A new book has dived into how preadolescent children deal with friendships, moods, technology, boundaries, body image and their “road ahead” in life.

Tweens by Michelle Mitchell tackles and looks into pre-teens acting like teenagers and what that means for parents.

From teenager tendencies, rebelliousness and eye-rolling activities, the author told Deborah Knight that her book shares valuable tips for parents needing help.

“It’s really important we start to give them some freedom, voice and choice, but also be that big person in their life,” Mitchell said.
