Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...

 

- First things first, why are schools still sending out candy grams in this current climate with a loneliness epidemic on the rise? 

 

- Cliques and posses that form in middle school are often rife with envy, jealousy, gossip, and temptation - how to help our kids navigate this. 

 

- What advice to give your child when they are left out in a friend group.

 

- How to help a child who tends to avoid conflict in their interpersonal relationships build a greater tolerance for joining in and addressing things directly.

 

- "There is a difference between a kid who says 'I am going to let this go' vs. 'I am going to hold this in.'"

 

- Understanding "social currency" and how that impacts children, especially as they move into the stage of development where their attention begins to move away from their parents and much more heavily toward their peers.
