There I was in my mid-30s, reclined in my favorite Adirondack chair with a six-pack of Zima on ice, my favorite Blues Traveler CD in my Sony Discman, and the latest copy of Maxim discretely tucked by my side. I was fully prepared for middle age, and nothing could touch me (or so I thought). Then came marriage, kids, wrinkles, joint pain, and tater tots with murderous intent.

Help your tween thrive in middle school without stress, even if social scenes and homework drama seem overwhelming.
