Tweens Admit: What do They Really Want Their Parents to Know?

The tween years are often transitional as both parents and tweens adapt to changes — environmentally, physically and emotionally. How can parents and tweens be safe spaces, to share openly without hurting one another through the process? Joining our host, Susan Koh, are mother and son, Judith and Micah. Over candid and honest stories, they chat about changes that both parents and tweens go through, challenges faced through transitions, and also share mutual expectations. Judith is a family-life advocate and work-life consultant who believes that strong marriages and sound parenting make for resilient families. Judith began her career in market research before moving to pursue a passion in family life education. Currently, Judith splits her time between championing for families through training and writing, and raising her two sons, Micah and Ezra.---No one needs to parent alone.
