Virtual Workshop for parents of preteens and early teens

Preparing to parent your middle schooler
There is a lot of focus on parenting babies and toddlers-from sleeping through the night, to eating solids, to potty training and the terrible twos, it can feel like smooth sailing once children get to elementary school age.
Then comes puberty and middle school!
Parenting the tween and early teen years takes a new set of skills, has us facing new challenges, and often requires further evaluation of our parenting philosophies.
Come learn and process preparing to parent your middle schooler.
TOPICS TO EXPLORE:
Friendship drama
Smartphones and social media
Beyond the birds and bees, identity and sexuality
Boundaries and independence
Socialization and belonging
