WHAT TO DO?

Pre-teen is a period in life when children are going from childhood into being teenagers, a period where they are growing, changing, and facing new things and situations.

Misunderstandings between friends, feeling hurt, disappointed, missing dear family members, facing grief in an early age, appreciating their body, not judging themselves, learning about how important communication is to clear the confusion, looking after their needs and wants are some of the situations touched in the stories of this book.

Some highlighted parts of the stories include that asking for help when pre-teens feel caught into new situations lead to understanding and forgiving each other. Requiring counselling is another valuable help to consider when they feel lost in their thoughts and things gets too heavy for their age. Treating themselves with love, compassion and kindness during difficult times is not only important but necessary for their well-being.

The stories could also be valuable help for mindfulness teachers to enrich a class discussion and add on to their teaching portfolio.
