A Community for Surviving The Teen Years
Parenting middle schoolers takes an amazing amount of grace, patience, love and maybe chocolate. This is a difficult time for them as they are experiencing so many changes due to puberty and figuring out all the new social rules that come with this age. They need your support, but you're going to need encouragement and advice too to help you both find your way through these confusing and frustrating middle school years.
Parenting middle school kids is a tough stage. They are often referred to as tweens, because they are definitely moving away from being little kids, but they aren’t quite full on teens yet. They are struggling with puberty, acne, social drama and just trying to figure out who they are and where they fit. And as they struggle, it is so hard as parents to know how to help and support them. During the middle school years, it’s almost like you’re parenting an entirely different person every day and even at different times of day. You’re looking for answers and advice to make this easier on both of you and that is what you’ll find here.
