$39.99
The tween years (roughly ages 9–12) are often called the "second toddlerhood" because of the rapid brain restructuring taking place. For a "Girl Mom," this transition is even more intense because it often mirrors our own memories of middle school - the friendships, the body changes, and the search for identity.
There is so much you want to teach her, but you also know that protecting your relationship with her is REALLY important right now. You want to help her grow while making sure she doesn't push you away in the process.
We're going to figure this all out together in this pre-recorded webinar
The Girl Mom’s How-To Guide: Navigating the Tween Years
How to Use the "Motherhood Mirror": Learn to pause when you’re triggered and ask, "Is this about her behavior, or my own middle-school baggage?" to avoid overreacting.
How to Decode "Tween-Speak": Shift from taking eye-rolls personally to recognizing them as a clumsy (but normal) neurological push for independence.
How to Listen Without "Fixing": Master the art of active validation so she feels heard and empowered to solve her own friendship drama.
How to Practice "Side-by-Side" Connection: Use car rides, walks, or chores to spark deep conversations without the pressure of intense eye contact.
How to Model Body Neutrality: Learn to audit your own self-talk so she sees a reflection of confidence and self-respect instead of self-criticism.
How to Execute a "Clean Repair": Follow a simple 3-step process to apologize when you lose your cool, turning a conflict into a bonding moment.
How to Transition from Manager to Consultant: Slowly hand over the "reins" of her daily life to build her competence while remaining her most trusted advisor.
How to Set "Relationship-First" Boundaries: Establish firm rules for tech and safety that prioritize her well-being over "blind obedience."
