Hello middle school parents, I hope June is off to a wonderful start for you and your family! I know summer calendars are filling up quickly, so I'm sending one more reminder about my upcoming Manners for Middle School Workshop for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th-graders. I have just four spots left, and I would love to fill them with students who are ready to build confidence for the everyday situations middle school brings, including conversations, friendships, dining, screen manners, introductions, and interacting respectfully with adults and peers. This workshop is interactive, encouraging, and fun, and students will leave with practical skills they can use right away.

But feeling left out is something everyone experiences at times—even us adults. So let’s look at how we can help our kids handle those hard...
Happy Friday! I’m so excited for next week because I get to visit my childhood friend Suzie. We met in fifth grade when she rode her bike past my house, spotted me in the front yard, stopped in the driveway, and said, "Hi, I'm Suzie!"All these years later, she’s still one of my dearest friends. She’s known me through so many seasons of life, and maybe best of all, my whole family adores her too. It’s a sweet reminder that the friendship skills our kids are learning now really can matter for a...
