If you've been personally victimized by the sudden change in your darling precious angel baby becoming a middle schooler with new feelings, hormones and behavior patterns, take heart friend. Today's guest, Tyler Eatherton, head of middle school and junior high at a school super near and dear to me, is talking ALL things grades 5-8.

This episodes includes topics like:

• conversations that lead (or stop!) connection

• what typical struggles and temptations this age group is exposed to

• the disciplinary issues that tend to come up most frequently at this age

Tyler said the administration adoringly refers to this group as "flesh and feelings" as they're navigating a whole new world of their adolescence.

I feel like I left this conversation with more awareness, helpful tools and resources and comfort in knowing I'm not the only one that thinks this is hard. I hope you leave feeling the same!

We talked about several helpful resources on the show, here's some quick links:
