The transition from childhood to adolescence can be a rocky one for some children and parents -- but it doesn't have to be. In this 4-week parent discussion group, I share the latest research on preteen brain development, emotion regulation, peer relationships, and how to nurture your relationship with your preteen amidst the numerous changes she is experiencing. By the end of the four sessions, you will have a deeper understanding of the internal and external world of your preteen, a greater empathy for what she is going through, and some clear and practical ways to help that transition go well for both of you. Class sizes are small (10 or fewer participants) so that the discussion can target your individual needs. This session focuses on parents with daughters age 8-12.
