Summer Into Growth: A Social-Emotional Learning Workbook for Tweens
Summer is finally here. No homework. No alarm clocks. No schedule.
But somewhere between the excitement of the last day of school and the first day back in September, a lot of tweens hit a wall. The boredom sets in. The friend drama starts. The screen time adds up. And before they know it, summer is almost over and it felt like it just... happened to them.
Summer Into Growth was created to change that.
Written by special education teacher and bestselling author Richard Bass, this 35-exercise workbook gives kids ages 9 to 12 the tools to make their summer genuinely meaningful, not just busy. Rooted in the five core social-emotional learning competencies and built specifically for the tween mind, every activity is honest, engaging, and designed to feel nothing like schoolwork.
Inside the workbook, tweens will explore:
Chapter 1: Know Yourself. Who are you when the school year stops defining your days? Exercises cover summer identity, values, energy levels, and setting a vision for who they want to be by September.
Chapter 2: Take Charge. How to set goals that actually stick, beat boredom without screens, and form one lasting habit using a simple 4-week tracker.
Chapter 3: Look Around. Understanding that not every summer looks the same, practicing real empathy, and learning how to include everyone around them.
Chapter 4: Your People. Keeping friendships strong, handling drama, navigating more family time, and resolving conflict calmly.
Chapter 5: Smart Choices. A simple decision checklist tweens can use all summer long, resisting peer pressure, and getting ready for what comes next.
This workbook is perfect for:
Tweens ages 9 to 12 who want a summer with more purpose. Kids who struggle with boredom, screen time, or too much unstructured time. Parents looking for a meaningful alternative to another month of scrolling. Homeschool families, summer programs, camps, and school counselors preparing students for the transition to a new grade.
This is not a journal. It is not a therapy workbook. And it is definitely not homework. Every exercise uses a mix of fill-in tables, checklists, reflection prompts, and writing spaces that keep tweens engaged without overwhelming them. The tone is direct, warm, and fun because Richard Bass has spent years working with kids this age and knows exactly how to talk to them without losing them.
Because the best summers are the ones that actually change you.
