The Pre-Teen Years

As children grow, our role as caregivers shifts, often in ways we don't expect. In this episode Rebecca and Meredith move into age twelve, exploring what it means to stay connected with a pre-teen, what it looks like when kids can still come to you with anything, and how the foundation you've been building since they were small starts to show up in your relationship now. Whether you're parenting a twelve-year-old, long past it, or just thinking about what twelve was like for you, there's something here for you. Be curious. Be kind. Start with yourself.
