From Elementary to Middle School:
Five Strategies Every Parent Should Know
Join us for a FREE live webinar where we simplify the transition from Elementary to Middle School and show you how to help your child thrive during this pivotal stage.
About the Webinar
The move from Elementary to Middle School is one of the most pivotal transitions in a child’s life. It’s a leap into greater independence, new academic challenges, and important social growth.
This webinar will help you prepare-with clarity, confidence, and insight so your child not only adjusts but thrives. You’ll learn what this transition really looks like for both children and parents, and how it can be an opportunity for growth rather than worry.
The single most important message:
Early adolescence can be a time to thrive - if we support young people in developmentally attuned, meaningful ways.
