Are you intimidated of middle school students? Does parenting that age child excite or scare you? In this episode I describe this unique stage of a child's development and discuss some challenges for middle schoolers and us parents.

The quote at the end of each episode is by Jill Churchill, an American author. "There's no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."
