Parenting Preteens: Growing Confidence and Connection Grades 5-7

Parenting during the preteen years can be exciting, confusing, and sometimes overwhelming. As children grow more independent and start to push limits, parents often wonder how to stay connected while still setting boundaries. This engaging, research-informed workshop helps parents and caregivers understand what’s happening developmentally and emotionally for their children while identifying strategies that align with their own family values and boundaries. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all answers, the session provides space for reflection, discussion, and learning—so each family can make confident, informed decisions that strengthen connection during these important years of change.
