Tired of fighting with your tween about homework, grades, and phones? Middle school is a big jump, and many kids who breezed through elementary school suddenly start to struggle. The good news is that more nagging isn't the answer.
👉 Tired of the homework battles? Inside Parenting Teens Academy, parents learn to step back without checking out, build their teen's ownership, and stop nagging about grades. Try it free for 7 days
In this episode, I sit down with JoAnn Schauf, a former school counselor known as the Parent Whisperer, founder of Your Tween and You, and author of Loving the Alien: How to Parent Your Tween. JoAnn shares how to help your middle schooler build motivation, study habits, and real ownership of their schoolwork, without constant battles.
One of her best tips: stop checking the grade portal. Instead, sit down once a week, maybe with a treat, and let your tween open it and walk you through the story behind the grades.
