Help for parents of tweens
Junior High can be a difficult age for both parents and kids. Three of my kids have gone through junior high and my fourth is currently there. All are still living :-) This can also be a fun age as you and your children are able to share more in-depth conversations. In my opinion, this is a super time for those of us into laughing--their sense of humor is developing! And sometimes it's even WITH us and not AT us...
My experience as a parent is that it's helpful to have all of the following: a sense of humor, a healthy prayer life, the ability to set boundaries and keep them, flexibility, a healthy prayer life (worth mentioning twice), friends who also have tweens and an activity that you do for yourself to recharge.
What are some good resources?
