Parenting in the Messy Middle: Understanding Yourself in the Tween and Young Teen Years
Are you parenting a tween or young teen?
It's fun, right? (wink, wink)
But seriously, we can make it so much less cringe-y.
Join this class to find out how...

Welcome
Hi, Meghan Leahy here. I'm so glad you've joined me for Parenting in the Messy Middle: Understanding yourself in the tween and young teen years.
TARGET APPROACH
Connection is the bedrock of everything...
With every client, column, and parent, I begin with connection.
It is the bedrock of every relationship.
Oh, technology. The best of times, the worst of times.
By the time you read, the landscape of technology has changed for your tween and young teen...since yesterday.
That's okay. You don't need to be a tech expert to be a good tech parent.
Sex, Sexuality, and other Body Stuff
Let's begin with some definitions! Let's watch videos because reading can get tiring.
I love these different playlists! Watch and learn!
Chores, Homework, and Practices...Oh My!
Why would I lump all of these subjects together? These seem pretty different, but in my coaching life, I find that parents tend to struggle around one main subject: forcing their kids to do either chores, homework, or practices...or all three.
This module isn't about changing the behaviors of your tween and young teen.
This module is about understanding what your messy middle is is what your tween needs most.
Some of your young teens may need more boundaries and more rules; some of your tweens may need you to allow for some independence...which may mean failure.
