SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Transitioning from Elementary to Middle School Years
The elementary years themselves bring changes for both parent and child. Extracurricular activities crowd the calendar. Your child becomes more aware of a friend talking behind her back. She gains gusto and confidence when she finds a wonderful book, piece of music, or sport that truly engages her. He learns more independence as he packs his snack for school. Parenting a young teenager heading to middle school is overwhelming.
