Susan Marchaund is a 12-year-old girl who is trapped between being cool and being herself. She\u2019s a terrific Middle School child with great grades, lots of friends and hormones that are firing on all cylinders. Her parents, Mark and Joan Marchaund are perpetually stumped. They have a great kid who does well in school, but who straddles the line between being a kid and being a teenager. It\u2019s a whole new world for them and a hard place to parent from; for Susan, it\u2019s an even harder place to be in.<\/p>\n
In fact, it’s one of the reasons they say Middle School is one of the most awkward times of our lives. They are determined to help Susan navigate this time effectively and with grace, so they turned to a coach for help.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s face it,\u201d says Susan \u201cchildren don\u2019t come with rule books or guides. Each child is different, and each family is different, and even as adults we need some support dealing with the issues that were once our own.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coaches that work with families in the Middle School age group typically agree that it\u2019s important to remember this is a short period of time in our lives. Between puberty and other changes, it\u2019s going to be challenging for everyone. The changes are physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual, just to name a few. In many ways, it\u2019s like a perfect storm of change all happening at the same time.<\/p>\n
Here are some of our coaches\u2019 tips to help navigate these ever-changing waters, while bringing parents and children closer than they ever expected. They will set both parents and children up for success for the long haul, while bridging the gap between the formative and teen years.<\/p>\n
