As violence continues to plague our schools, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist 
Laura Sessions Stepp provides parents with valuable guidelines for raising their
children.  Stepp asserts that early adolescence, ages 8-13, is a unique and 
pivotal time of change, and the final major opportunity to ensure that children 
become happy, loving and successful adults.

Early adolescence is a time when unmatched physical and intellectual growth, 
expanding creativity, emerging moral sensibilities, awakening sexuality, and 
maturing emotions powerfully converge.  Parents and those who interact with 
young teens must navigate these tricky waters and find a way to tell “normal” 
behaviors from troubled ones, and to know when, how, and how often to intervene.

Stepp, a reporter for The Washington Post, spent two years researching eighteen 
families across the country in an effort to compile a cross-section of early 
adolescents’ lives.  Through these children’s stories, Stepp explores the 
social, emotional and intellectual dynamics of early adolescence and offers 
positive, practical advice on how to help young teenagers thrive.

Stepp has written about children and families for more than a decade, currently 
specializing in the coverage of adolescence for the Style section of The 
Washington Post.  She was an invited speaker at last year’s White House 
Conference on Raising Responsible Teenagers, and also served on the U.S. Surgeon
General’s Healthy People 2000 panel on adolescence.
