Ah...middle school! That strange time when our kids aren’t quite teens, but certainly not small children anymore. The changes are likely as using for your child as they are for you! Here are some ideas for how to love them well through this new stage of development.
Does your teen have big emotions that feel out of control? Do they trigger your own? Here’s why those feelings matter and how you can respond with love and wisdom!

We’ve all been there, the comparison trap. That place where we don’t feel good enough, where our standards and expectations of ourselves meet who we really are. That place where we look at what others are doing with their kids or what we think they are doing, and we feel like a failure. Social media perpetuates this comparison trap and we fall for the bait over and over again.
The comparison trap is a very real place and we are all tempted to fall into it. Whether it be comparing our marriages, jobs, families, children, churches, you name it. But what we don’t often realize in the midst of fighting the good fight against falling into this trap, is that our children are also being tempted to fall into it as well.

When we got to the medical information, my husband asked, "Do you have any bladder problems?"
"Only in AP English," said my son.
