Description:What s REALLY Cool in Middle School is a book for tweens ages 8 to 12. The purpose of the book is to encourage children to approach early adolescence with authenticity and self-confidence and to exhibit strong characters and positive behaviors as they reach the difficult years between the sixth and eighth grades. In today culture, being cool is the undisputed measure of success. Through the media and their peers, children learn that being cool is the route to popularity and acceptance, and ultimately, is the guarantee of happiness. Thanks to a marketing phenomenon known as age compression, the quest to be cool now is marked by rampant materialism and an unnatural and inappropriate desire to grow up too quickly. More than ever before, being cool is about owning certain things, having unbridled access to pop culture and acting preciously sexual. Parents are rightly concerned about the impact of age compression on their young adolescent children. They re dismayed to see the hyper-sexual messages that influence their young girls and boys, and they worry about the impact of growing up too soon and being sucked into a culture that puts the focus on consumerism and access to media, rather than on wholesome child development and good character.Parenting author Marybeth Hicks addressed many of these concerns in her 2008 top-selling book, Bringing Up Geeks (Genuine, Enthusiastic, Empowered Kids): How to Protect Your Kid s Childhood in a Grow-up-too-fast World. In that book, she offered tools and tips to parents who want to hold the culture at bay and preserve a period of childhood innocence for their kids. What s REALLY Cool in Middle School is the book hundreds of parents have asked Hicks to write. It is a version of her positive and helpful message written just for children.
