Child care & upbringing

No longer little children, but not yet teenagers, children in the primary school years (between seven and twelve) face big emotional, social, psychological and physical changes. How can parents best support their children whilst also embracing their growing independence?

Inspired by the Waldorf approach to child development, Lou Harvey-Zahra explains the three major transitions, or 'rubicons', of middle childhood at ages seven, nine and twelve. She offers practical tips and guidance to help parents through the challenges of the middle years, including:

-- Creative solutions for common discipline issues -- Helpful routines for busy households to strengthen family bonds -- Suggested responses to tricky childhood questions

-- Sensitive advice to help children manage anger and anxiety

Growing Children, Thriving Children empowers parents to navigate the middle years with confidence.

Reviews for Growing Children, Thriving Children: Raising 7 to 12 Year Olds With Confidence and Awareness

'I love Lou Harvey-Zahra's advice, which is fun but practical, and rooted in love... With very few books available about this age, when children are starting to grow away from us and be more independent and yet crying out for support, it's really helpful to be able to reflect on what they might be feeling and how we can best nurture and guide them.'' -- Saffia Farr, Editor, JUNO Magazine 'If you have children between 7-12 years or coming close to this age, you simply must read this book! Such a crucial time for connection and setting up for more ease in the teen years. Growing Children, Thriving Children is full of gold for parents!' -- Katherine Thompson, parent 'I am super grateful to have read Growing Children, Thriving Children and to refer to it -- as there aren't many books on this middle period of childhood. Lou Harvey-Zahra's book beautifully explains the transition that largely goes unrecognised at nine years in our society today.' -- Sarah Barber, parent
