alisiakae 's review for:
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
As a parent of a middle schooler, I have been eagerly looking forward to Michelle Icard's follow-up to Middle School Makeover. In 14 Talks by Age 14, she gives loads of practical, useful wisdom on how to broach some of the most difficult topics that come up in adolescence. The BRIEF model she uses provides a great framework for starting a discussion, with the flexibility to adapt to your own family's needs. While much of what was discussed are things we already do, reading this book definitely helped identify the weak spots where my spouse and I could do better! I highly recommend to anyone who is looking to build or maintain two-way dialogue with their tween or teen, built on trust rather than just lecturing them.
