This is a fabulous book for kids chock full of helpful and really instructive information. This book addresses one of the most important aspects of kid’s life in middle school - dealing with growing up and their family. If you remember, in the KidsHealth survey they found that the most important issue to kids was their family. Annie Fox’s new book answers so many questions for kids and talks about what matters most to them: “I am not a Kid Anymore!, Struggling with Siblings, Moods and Attitudes,Things are changing around here” are some of the chapters, which are insightful. She also has quizzes for kids to analyze how they really feel - a very useful tool!

This is an essential book for kids in the middle school stage of growing up - not a kid and not a full teen either. I love this book and I can’t wait to talk to Annie about all that is in it,  especially if you have a middle schooler or a child soon to be one, so you can make good choices ~

Mr. Reiswig’s book takes you through the journey of his family where for many years they “kept the information about forgetful grandparents, dotty parents, loopy aunts and childish uncles to ourselves.” But there was no mistaking that there was a problem in this family and once the DNA was exposed, it opened the family secrets to the world.

This is a book about Alzheimer’s. On today’s show Mr. Reiswig explains the warning signs of Alzheimer’s, what the new treatments are and when to get genetic testing. I now think I would like to know if I had a disease looming in my future. As scary as it is, by knowing I can take advantage of early cures and possibly change my destiny.
