One of the parents at my center sent me an article by Deborah Farmer Kris titled: "Your middle school child is the most amazing person." I loved this author's perspective on middle schoolers and wanted to give a play therapy perspective.
The author makes four points in the article that I add play therapy-based insight on:
-
Middle schoolers are a jumble of contradictions
-
Let your face light up
-
Don't take their outbursts personally
-
Remember that your child is listening
