Middle School Isn't a Problem to Solve, It's a Skill Being Built
About this episode
Dr. Sheryl and Phyllis Fagell discuss the dynamics of middle school relationships and the skills that contribute to resilience in children.
Dr. Sheryl and Phyllis Fagell talk through why middle schoolers pull away from their parents (and why it's not rejection), the real numbers on how often friendships shift during these years, and the "superpowers," belonging, security, self-regulation, that actually predict resilience.
