Summary: Dated
Comment: I've read all the other books in this series. Usually, these books have insightful information about a child's developmental stages. This book tries to do the same; however, I think that the authors grouped too many age groups together. There's a BIG difference between ten-year olds and fourteen-year olds. Much of the information seemed dated (it was from the 1970s).

Summary: A Teacher and Parent Says, "Buy This One!"
Comment: Information is provided about the common developmental traits of ten to fourteen year olds. This book is intended to be used as a handbook for parents. It is easy to read, not a dry textbook. Your child is changing. (You know this SO well!) What might be next? Areas of development presented include physical, social, emotional, school life, interests, and ethics. I refer to my copy often as a sixth grade teacher and the proud parent of a fourteen year old.

Summary: Outdated
Comment: Habor and Ames, authors of the "Your Child" parenting guides, have an excellent reputation. Unfortunately they originally wrote these books in the 1950s and this one, at least, appears to have not been updated in the last thirty years.
I, like many parents, am seeking ways to understand my children and the changes they're facing at each new age. I purchased this book with high hopes, given the reputation of the authors, and am sorely disappointed at the very outdated, generation-specific information presented. Some information on human development never changes, of course, but the book doesn't stick with this timeless material. When it comes to emotional development, the children reviewed for this study (1950s through 1970s, if I understand it correctly) were simply not facing the same circumstances that children of our decade have to contend with. For example, "Boys ... may love bright plaid shirts or like to concentrante their new love of color and daring in a tie." Um, not any of the twelve-year old boys I know. Even the "good" ones want to wear black. Peer pressure.
Do not buy this book if you hope to gain insight into your children if they are at all engaged with the world as it is today. I've found the John Rosemond books, particularly "Teen Proofing", to be much more helpful.
Good luck on your parenting journey!
