Middle School Makeover is a guide for parents and educators to help the tweens in their lives navigate the socially fraught hallways, gyms, and cafeterias of middle school. The book helps parents, teachers, and other adults in middle school settings to understand the social dilemmas and other issues that kids today face. Author Michelle Icard covers a large range of topics, beginning with helping us understand what is happening in the brains of tweens and how these neurological development affects decision-making and questions around identity. She also addresses social media, dating, and peer exclusion. Using both recent research and her personal, extensive experience working with middle-school-aged kids and their parents, Icard offers readers concrete and practical advice for guiding children through this chaotic developmental stage while also building their confidence.
Michelle Icard didn't much like middle school the first time around. Filled with anxiety and social missteps, her experience taught her a lot about feeling like a misfit. Since then, Michelle has dedicated herself to making the middle school years better for kids, parents, and teachers. Her social leadership curricula, Athena's Path & Hero's Pursuit, are taught in schools and summer camps across the country. She is a frequent speaker at parenting and educational events and her website MichelleintheMiddle.com is a refuge for parents with questions and concerns about raising tweens.
