I wish I had a book like this when I was a "tween." --Robin Deluca-Acconi, LCSW, Social Worker
Teachers, as an essential part of the educational process, ask students to expand their comfort zones. The development of confidence plays a critical role in a student's willingness to take intellectual and social risks. In Being Me, Dr Wendy Moss demonstrates a unique ability to speak to children and parents in a nurturing conversational voice about developing self confidence. The simple strategies, practical advice and relevant examples provided in this book make it a valuable tool for parents, teachers and especially students. I will certainly keep a copy on my desk. --Terri Craco, Elementary Classroom Teacher

Kelley, Youth Services Librarian and mother of three
Youngsters who read Being Me will be empowered because they are learning ways to take responsibility for their emotions in an age-appropriate manner.
