The Step-Tween Survival Guide
How to Deal with Life in a Stepfamily
Lisa Cohn and Debbie Glasser, Ph.D. 
The Step-Tween Survival Guide

Life as a preteen (a.k.a. “tween”) can be challenging. Life as a stepkid can be equally tough. Put them together, and it can be like climbing Mount Everest . . . daily. Step-tweens are not only caught between childhood and teenhood—they’re also often caught between two parents, two families, and two homes. This book lets them know they are not alone, helps them identify and express their feelings, and teaches them how to effectively communicate their wants and needs. The engaging format includes lively illustrations, quizzes, advice from other stepkids, “survival tools” to use when the going gets rough, and suggestions for what to do when nothing else seems to be working. With The Step-Tween Survival Guide, tweens will gain the skills and inspiration to survive and thrive in a stepfamily.

Reviews

“A must-read for anyone with teens in their stepfamily! Finally, someone has addressed these important members of the stepfamily.”—Jeannette Lofas, president, Stepfamily Foundation

“The Step-Tween Survival Guide perfectly describes the feelings and experiences that children handle as a result of blended families. Includes hands-on exercises, heartfelt wisdom, and much needed humor. It's a must-have for every stepfamily wanting to create a sense of warmth, open communication and love for their children.”—Roni Leiderman, Ph.D., dean, Mailman Segal Institute for Early Childhood Studies, Nova Southeastern University

“A much needed book for young teens who are living through family upheaval. Drawn from interviews with real stepkids, the authors help young readers identify and deal with their feelings and learn strategies for coping, while keeping a positive outlook that this, too, can be not only dealt with—but maybe even have some positive outcomes.”—Harriet Heath, Ph.D., director, The Parent Center, Child Study Institute and Thorne School, Bryn Mawr College
