Less Drama More Mama
The tween years don't just change your child.
They change you.
Around ages 9 to 12, your child begins the important developmental work of identity formation. They start caring more about their friends, forming stronger opinions, and creating more space between you.
This shift can feel just as big for you as it does for them, and it requires a different kind of presence from you.
The moms who come out the other side of the tween years with strong relationships aren't the ones who hold on the tightest.
They're the ones who learn how to stay present and regulated while giving their kids room to grow.
Whether you're parenting a tween now, approaching this stage, or looking back with older kids, this episode will help you understand what's really happening.
