What is Meredith Masony's definitive guide to parenting a pubescent 13-year-old?

As a mother who has gone through the puberty phase with her children, I believe that communication is key during this challenging time. It's important to talk about what's going on and help your child develop self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.

I've found that the online program @tapoutsapp is a great resource. It's a place where kids ages 4-16 meet in small groups with their peers and a certified coach who teaches them important coping skills. It’s an awesome space for kids to talk about their feelings and gain the confidence and tools they need to face problems in life.

Remember, every child is different and what works for one may not work for another. It's all about understanding your child and providing them with the support they need.
