Making An Impression Through Wholesome Books For Tweens

By Olive Pate


Entertain youngsters is no simple feat these days. Today's youngsters are more difficult to please than those of years gone by. Much of what passes for youth targeted entertainment these days is not what parents or guardians would want the youth to be exposed to. This is what has driven the search for wholesome books for tweens.

Children who are considered tweens fall in the age bracket of ten to twelve years. The term is relatively new and came into being because it was determined that this is a phase that facilitates the transition into the teen years. Nurturers and caregivers are well aware that it is crucial to feed the tween mind with healthy material.

Through the use of fiction, adults can engage the attention of pre-teens while entertaining them. The content of these stories, poems and biographies must be so designed to grab the attention of this young audience. They tend, for instance, to be fascinated with the lives of superstars. Biographies of superstars who serve as positive examples may be offered as reading material for them.

In order to ensure that value is gleaned from these books ensure that they have hidden or overt messages that will help the children develop strong, positive characters. Look out for those very talented authors who are able to infuse themes such as love, loyalty and tolerance as well as faith into entertaining stories. It may not appear to be so initially but over time, these have a strong and positive impact on the choices they make and the way they live their lives.

No book targeting pre-teens is complete without illustrations. Adults who provide these reading materials to the children must check to ensure that the images display the values that they want to impart to the children. They must also check to see if the pictures are intriguing or entertaining enough for the age group.

In keeping with the trend of young people to interface with the modern technological tools, E-books may be used to grab their attentions. With these digital books, the pre-teens can enjoy the same convenience that they enjoy with the storage and retrieval of their music and videos. In fact, many of the younger generation have already started to scoff at the idea of traditional books, making the need for digital ones even more important.

These books make great gift items for adults who want to give meaningful gifts to children. The electronic versions are convenient to access and deliver. You can shop online, make a purchase, download the copy and send it to the child's device through messaging services or thumb drive transfers. Additionally it can be used to enhance the relationship between an adult and a child, especially if they enjoy the story or contents of the book together.

When you provide children with wholesome reading tools and encourage them to make use of them, you are taking a critical step in the right direction. This is one of those steps that more adults need to take in order to change the world for the better. More children need adults in their lives who will make this bold step of encouraging and facilitating the reading of good, positive literature.
