My children(9 ,11) start off the day every morning before school reading an uplifting and meaningful story.
my daughter even liked it and she hates to read. very goodb value had to buy for school summer reading program.
She chose this book as one of her birthday presents. My ten year old daughter really loves this book. She is not very keen on reading, but will sit down and read the chicken soup books.
You can then use the stories, or lessons learned for great conversation pieces for discussion. This book is a great connection - you can cozy up and read a few selections at a time - it's a great way to have fun, and spend time bonding with your preteen. It is sometimes hard to find things to do with your preteen. They are at an age when they want more independence from mom and dad.
If you want to make a difference get off your butt and try to make that difference. I know it's hard to deal with these things at first but too many kids dwell on how it stinks to have divorced parents and they don't use this time to try to do something to help yourself or something. My parents are divorced and reading about how other kids dealt with it really helped me get back on my feet even though they've been divorced for like four years. Reading about how other kids got out of bad situations made me feel lucky because now I know how much worse they have it opposed to me.
