BEST OF: Judith Warner on What Grownups Get Wrong About Middle School
Judith Warner\u2019s book\xa0AND THEN THEY STOPPED TALKING TO ME: MAKING SENSE OF MIDDLE SCHOOL\xa0investigates what can be a truly painful period in any adolescent's life. Warner explains that our "personal fable" is deeply affected by our own experiences during that developmental period, even if our memories may rely on flawed or incomplete information.\nThat matters because it can affect how we parent our tweens as they enter the middle school stage themselves. Are parents sometimes inadvertently reinforcing the narrative that middle school is a Thunderdome of social aggression?\nIn this interview, Judith tells Amy the history of middle school, the brain science behind its intensity, and what parents can do to make their children's path through these years an easier one.\nBuy AND THEN THEY STOPPED TALKING TO ME: https://bookshop.org/a/12099/9781101905890\n\nWhat Fresh Hell Podcast is going on tour across the Northeast US this fall!
