Parents of tweens have lots of questions.
And more! Most of these questions boil down to one big challenge:
“My child is changing—how do I stay connected while helping them grow?”
A common misunderstanding in our modern culture is that as our children transition into the “tween” and teen years, our role is to push them toward independence. We are often told to step back, let go, and prepare them for a world that demands self-sufficiency. Yet, from a developmental perspective, true independence is not something we can teach, nor is it the result of being “pushed out of the nest.”
True independence — the capacity to be one’s own person, to have one’s own mind, and to stand firmly on one’s own feet — is actually the fruit of a fulfilled dependence. It is a spontaneous unfolding of nature that occurs only when a child feels so securely attached to their parents that they no longer have to “work” for that connection. They can finally rest in our care, and from that rest, the energy for growth is released.
Join Peace at Home Expert Aaron Weintraub, MS as we step away from the “tips and tricks” of behavioral management and instead look through a developmental lens to understand what is truly happening within the hearts and minds of our tweens and teens. We will move beyond the symptoms of “attitude” and “rebellion” to see the underlying needs of our maturing child.Please ask questions and share your experiences during the session.
