From Dread to Delight: 
Your Crash Course in Middle School Parenting Genius

This isn’t a “tips and tricks” talk. It's a flexible, engaging session that helps parents go from reluctant passengers on their tween's wild ride through middle school to enthusiastic co-conspirators — as they learn to translate behavior into needs, see opportunties, and learn critical skills.

 

With a simple framework that's based on early adolescent brain development, parents learn the drivers of  tween behavior,  effective responses, and the parenting skills needed to support their child's growth while deepening their relationship.

 

Yes, parents could try to piece this together on their own.  But why keep guessing—when you can give them a clear, compassionate roadmap that strengthens school-family partnership and reduces stress at home?

 

Outcomes: Parents leave 

  • understanding the driving forces of early adolescent behavior

  • knowing how to identify and meet their kid's evolving needs

  • feeling excited about the opportunities present during the middle school years

  • prepared to explore and leverage newly available support 

 

Using relatable stories and humor throughout the interactive, engaging session, parents can 'see' their kids and themeslves, leacing to increased understanding, empathy, and appreciation.

 

All workshops are tailored to meet your community's needs and your priorities.
