Middle schoolers can be crazy and if you are not on your toes, you will soon be on board the rollercoaster of emotion that often accompanies the middle school years. As a parent of two (teens), coach to thousands and teacher to even more, I have experienced the best and the worst of what the middle school years can bring. At its best, your kids tell you they love you and may even give you a hug. At its worst, your kids will tell you they hate you and wish you weren't their mom/dad anymore. Heartbreaking. Navigating the middle school years successfully takes patience and a plan, if you are interested in seeing your kids when they become teens and in their later adult years. Join me for a 15-minutes each month as I share a few stories, strategies and hope that will keep you and your middle schooler moving forward.     00:12:00Joe BruzzesenoMiddle schoolers,middle school,middle school parenting,teen parenting,Joe BruzzeseShort, practical ideas for parents who are going crazy with their middle schoolershttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/joe-bruzzese/2015/12/02/middle-school-moms--what-to-expect-from-your-middle-schoolerParentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/joe-bruzzese/2015/12/02/middle-school-moms--what-to-expect-from-your-middle-schooler/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/joe-bruzzese/2015/12/02/middle-school-moms--what-to-expect-from-your-middle-schoolerWed, 02 Dec 2015 17:30:00 GMTMiddle School Moms - What to expect from your middle schoolerAuthor, parent education speaker, former teacher and parent, Joe Bruzzese takes you on a whirlwind tour of everyday parenting challenges and practical strategies for staying sane during the middle school years.

The site also has a number of other great resources including thousands of activities parents and kids can do together and a tool called JustAsk that lets parents ask their toughest questions and get answers from other parents and Education.com experts.
