Parenting writer Michelle Icard offers an accessible guide on talking to young teenagers about complex yet important topics.

Tweens, preteens, teenagers, young adults, adolescents, kids, or children. Whatever you call them, being aged between 10 and 14 is no joke.

Early teenagehood is a minefield of identities, hormones, and growing pains. But why is this age so important?

Written in 2020, Michelle Icard's book is the result of a career spent guiding children and their parents and teachers through the challenges of early adolescence.

Icard writes about parenting for CNN, runs two middle school leadership programs in the U.S., and speaks about parenting around the world.

Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen does exactly what it promises, covering the most crucial topics to broach with a child between the ages of 10 and 14, and how to conduct these conversations successfully.
