About Us

What It's All About

Are you looking for some creative ways to have fun with that special tween in your life?

Well here you go: Over 52 fabulous ways to laugh, play, volunteer and be happy, together. These kids are somewhere between 8-12 years old, and they need you, probably more than they might admit. They need you to spend time having fun with them and learning about them.

Tweens are eager for new adventures and want to start making their own decisions, but they still need their parents. They need parents to make a promise : a promise to be there. And parents--plus aunts, uncles, godparents--could use a guide to strengthen those bonds that foster healthy tweens. And that's where Tween Time comes in.

Tween Time includes a wide selection of adventures to capture the interest of every tween: boys and girls; kids of all colors; artists and athletes. There's something in this book for everyone.

And because we believe that tweens can make a difference in their community, we will donate a portion of the proceeds of Tween Time to the Sacred Heart House of Denver Literacy Program. This literacy program--called "Almost Home Bookshelf"--is detailed on page 110 of Tween Time.

So buy a copy of Tween Time. Pick an adventure. Make it happen. Laugh. Pray. Talk. Listen. Be curious. With your favorite tween. Have fun!
