Ready for the Transition to Middle School? (I'm Talking to YOU, Parents!)

One of the best things you can teach your kids is how to learn from their mistakes and failures. (And I'd argue that there's no such thing as a failure - there are only lessons!) This episode was one of the most popular of 2020, and for good reason - it's so important to learn how to let our kids fail so that they become stronger and more resilient.  Middle school is the perfect time to do exactly that - step back and let your child fall. You'll be there to patch up their skinned knees, but they'll learn to stand on their own, take responsibility for what's theirs, and find the lesson in the journey.
