Parenting Fireflies: the wonderful years of tweens

Parenting Fireflies: the wonderful years of tweens

We often spend the years between 9-12 years old focusing on academic abilities and social concerns in elementary years and then prepare for the teen years. And we miss the explosion that is taking place right in front of us right here, right now. This is a time to lean into our children and who they are and yet to become. This tween period of development is when they are most vulnerable and we as parents can be impactful. Tweens need to have people and places to feel safe and supported through these years because in reality, tweens are confused, too! In this workshop Dr. Craig walks us through this developmental milestone before puberty discussing ways to build emotional connection in the family and survival tips for parents during this developmental stage.
