Parent Library in the MLC Junior School

Parent Library in the MLC Junior School

Have you recently looked at our parent collection in the Junior School library? If not, now might be a great time to have a look.

Our Parent Library at MLC Junior School is designed to provide you with information on a wide range of issues and topics. Our growing collection includes information on;

  • Health and Nutrition
  • Parent/Child Relationships
  • Girls’ Issues
  • Parenting
  • Tweens

One of the newest books in our collection is TWEENS What kids need NOW, before the teenage years by Michelle Mitchell, a recent visitor to the Junior School. Her book embodies a very specific stage of development that once understood will revolutionise the way you parent, educate and support those in your care.

In Tweens, award-winning parenting educator Michelle Mitchell explains that this is the most rapid period of development since toddlerhood. Right now, before the full pressures of high school hit, you have a window of opportunity that can change the trajectory of adolescence and beyond.

Using the results from her recent survey of more than 2000 parents and tweens, along with interviews with experts, Michelle compassionately guides parents through their children’s friendship issues, mood swings, confidence crises, technology habits, sibling rivalry, body image concerns and seemingly inexplicable behaviour. She provides invaluable practical advice and groundbreaking research from leading organisations to reassure parents that tweens are ready to be switched on to their potential, and every trusted adult in their lives can be a part of that process.
