Based on her many years working in schools, professional counselor Phyllis Fagell sees these years instead as a critical stage that parents can't afford to ignore (and though "middle school" includes different grades in various regions, Fagell maintains that the ages make more of a difference than the setting). Though the transition from childhood to adolescence can be tough for kids, this time of rapid physical, intellectual, moral, social, and emotional change is a unique opportunity to proactively build character and confidence. Fagell helps parents use the middle school years as a low-stakes training ground to teach kids the key skills they'll need to thrive now and in the future, including making good friend choices, negotiating conflict, regulating their own emotions, be their own advocates, and more. To answer parents' most common questions and struggles with middle school-aged children, Fagell combines her professional and personal expertise with stories and advice from prominent psychologists, doctors, parents, educators, school professionals, and middle schoolers themselves"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Middle school education|xParent participation. 650 0 Middle school students|xSocial conditions. 650 0 Home and school. 650 0 Adolescence. 650 1 Middle school students|xSocial conditions. 650 7 FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Parenting / General.|2bisacsh 650 7 EDUCATION / Parent Participation.|2bisacsh 650 7 FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Life Stages / Adolescence. |2bisacsh 650 7 Adolescence.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00796984 650 7 Home and school.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00959097 650 7 Middle school education|xParent participation.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01020523 650 7 Middle school students|xSocial conditions.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01020542 650 7 Middle school education.|2sears 650 7 Middle school students.|2sears 650 7 Home and school.|2sears 650 7 Adolescence.|2sears 776 08 |iebook version :|z9780738235097 914 MID.b26205749 914 FARM265720 994 C0|bWHP
