Let's Have a Conversation: Not so Little Anymore, Mental Health in the Middle Years (Ages 8-13)
This week we're talking about the kids caught in the middle-between childhood and the teenage years-where everything is changing fast. In part three of our series on childhood mental health, Dr. Merry-Sperry helps us navigate the emotional world of 8 - 13 year olds. We talk about identity, anxiety, friendships, growing independence, and that "not so little anymore" doesn't mean ready to handle it all alone. There's laughter, insight, and real encouragement for parents, leaders, and anyone loving a kid through the messy middle.
