Loving the Alien

Schauf, Joann: - JoAnn Schauf founded Your Tween and You, writes her blog, The Tween Times, coaches parents and adolescents, and speaks at conferences and to parent groups. After earning her Master of Science in Counselling, she worked as a therapist in a psychiatric hospital and served as a counselor in secondary schools and colleges. Her interactions with parents of tweens, who were confounded by their children's burgeoning adolescence and the influence of technology, led her to write Loving the Alien, How to Parent Your Tween. As the parent of four, she experienced the same challenges and frustrations! JoAnn lives in Austin, Texas and spends her free time volunteering and on the beach in California.
