Welcome to the middle school journey!
This exciting phase in your child's life is full of changes, new experiences, and opportunities. They'll be making new friends, taking on more responsibilities, and exploring their independence. But it can be a bit of a rollercoaster too. Juggling homework, managing time, coping with emotions, and navigating social groups can be tricky for them (and for you!).
It's a unique time. They've left the guided world of elementary school, and they're learning to take on more tasks, make decisions, and build relationships, all while balancing school and personal life. This can sometimes feel overwhelming and can lead to doubts and anxiety. It's a bit like learning to ride a bike but not yet knowing how to balance.
What they really need is a helpful guide.
This friendly and approachable guide equips your child with the practical skills they need to thrive. From managing time and staying organized to communicating effectively, building a growth mindset, and taking care of their emotions, this book covers it all.
Our goal is to empower your child not just to survive middle school but to really enjoy this special time and prepare for the years ahead. If you appreciate clear, practical, and real-world advice, you'll love this book.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book teaches young people what is not taught in middle school.
Author Ferne Bowe nails it in her book titled "Success Skills for Middle Schoolers." This book is full of valuable information and skills that will help any "tweener" navigate middle school successfully. It doesn't teach math, or science or English. Instead, it covers the "soft" skills that students are expected to know but rarely master until much later in life, if at all. As a former junior high school teacher, coach and school administrator, I strongly recommend this wonderful book. It should be required reading for all middle school students and parents. Yes, it is that important!

Great resource that should be introducted to elementary school kids
I like how practical and user friendly this book is. The issue is that only highly motivated kids or children with very "education minded" parents will be the ones purchasing this type of book. This is an age old problem as we never seem to reach our target audience with these books. Overall the book is excellent. I just hope more people will take advantage of reading such a valuable resource.
