An underlying fear many parents have is around their lack of control in managing their middle schooler's social circle. Maybe there's an uptick in drama, triangulation, backstabbing, and negative influences that involve a wide scope...from drugs & tech to just simply acting out in school and/or at home. Or, maybe it hasn't happened yet...but you know it might be coming.

I have four words for you: You are not alone.

Peers begin to appear to have more influence than the family, and no one has your kid's best interests at heart as much as you.

As you listen in, be honest with yourself. You've had negative influences in your life, and at times I'm sure you weren't your best self. But these experiences are how you learned what was right for you.
