    Chicken Soup for the Soul: Just for Preteens: 101 Stories of Inspiration and Support for Tweens

    By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Amy Newmark
    400 Pages (Paperback)
    Date Published: July 26, 2011

    ABOUT THE BOOK:

    Being a preteen is harder than it looks! School is more challenging, bodies are changing, relationships with parents are different, and new issues arise with friends. But this collection will help preteens, showing them they are not alone. Readers will be encouraged and inspired by stories from other preteens, just like them, about the problems and issues they face every day.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    Preteens have a hard enough time entering that stage of their life and may sometimes feel like they are alone.  This Chicken Soup book is great because it is real stories from preteen years (also know as tweens!)  It contains 101 stories dealing with typical preteen issues like self confidence, changing schools, first crushes, doing the right thing, finding your passion, embarrassing moments, bullies, and more.  I definitely could relate to a lot of the stories from way back when I was a tween!  I think it is a great book to show tweens they are not alone and sometimes worse things can happen!  I laughed at the stories, felt bad, and felt proud. 

    BUY IT: You can find Chicken Soup for the Soul books at your local bookstore or at Amazon.You can also check out the Chicken Soup for the Soul website for more information and you can even submit your own stories there!

      Parents aren’t as stupid as you think they are, and you aren’t as smart as you think you are…so come to an agreement with your parents about concerns instead of writing ‘the ‘rents’ off automatically.

      Let things in school go. It wont matter as an adult. Also do your best in school. That is wha matters when you are older.

      Take some time to listen. Your parents aren’t out to get you. Sometimes just taking a few minutes to stop with everything around you and sitting down with a parent can feel refreshing!

      My tip would be to love yourself the way you are and stay young while you still are. You’ll be a grownup for the rest of your life….

      My tip for preteens (tweens) is ‘Enjoy being a kid while you still can!’ They are stuck between being a child and an ‘almost-teen’, and often struggle with wanting to be more grown-up. If only they could realize how brief childhood is….

      Tip for preteens: Things are not as bad as you think they are. Calm down, take a deep breath, and think before reacting.

      Don’t cave in to peer pressure. If you feel something is wrong, it probably is. Thanks.

      a tip: enjoy life, as in each moment, when you’re still young.. you won’t be able to literally carry things on your own when you grow old!
