This particular age - 11 - is such a delicate one for kids, and it's a difficult age for parents to navigate too.
They are still children yet they are emerging into adolescence, and need to start thinking about being more independent. This book gives very good, timely and helpful advice for both boys and girls of this age, and for their parents. With advice on everything from managing money and social skills to healthy eating, this encourages kids to be more independent and take ownership of their lives, which will definitely give them greater confidence. Well written and nicely narrated, this is well worth a listen.
