Middle Schoolers: The Most Maligned And Misunderstood Age Group
Season 1
Episode 112
Published 3 years, 2 months ago
Description
One of the parents at my center sent me an article by Deborah Farmer Kris titled: "Your middle school child is the most amazing person." I loved this author's perspective on middle schoolers and wanted to give a play therapy perspective.
The author makes four points in the article that I add play therapy-based insight on:
- Middle schoolers are a jumble of contradictions
- Let your face light up
- Don't take their outbursts personally
- Remember that your child is listening
