Episode 156: The Middle Years: Stage 3 - Who They Are  
Podcast: Raising Boys & Girls
Published On: Tue Jan 09 2024
Description: In this week’s episode, we dive into the beginnings of adolescence. As we know, girls have often surged ahead in their maturity, physically and emotionally. Which, in this stage, means not-so-great news. But, the sooner we see girls move into their teenage angsty-ness, the sooner they move out of it. For girls, we’ll call these years the narcissistic years…because, IYKYK. For boys, we’ll call him the Individual. Listen along as we dive into who he and she are in their middle school years. And our hope is that this conversation gives you hope as you buckle up for what we believe are some of the toughest years in a child’s life…and a parent’s, too...particularly for girls. Boy parents, yours is coming next! In case you missed Stage One and Stage Two, the episodes are linked below.
