Revisado: 06-01-24
I think there are many positive things in this book including great insight into the tween brain and development. However, the author tends to get rather political when she literally demands readers support political movements like Black Lives Matter with their tween. Additionally, there is some hypocrisy in the book when she appropriately advocates for gender equality and then uses the pronoun “he/him” in reference to a generic family doctor, which inherently implies only men can/should be physicians. Normally, I would not call attention to this, but the author specifically emphasized that girls have less societal exposure to STEM than boys and that we should encourage girls to seek exposure to STEM subjects.
Overall, her points would be better made by avoiding subtle sexist hypocrisy and aforementioned political issues like BLM and instead stick to facts and her area of expertise.
