You may have to repeat this on several different occasions until you feel they truly understand. You can promise to not share it on social media - or with anyone else who doesn’t need to know, but the safety of another has to come first. – If they swear you to secrecy, tell them up front that is something you may not be able to do.
Stuck in the middle mom how to#
So I wanted to share here are a few tips on how to prepare yourself for these heart-stopping and mind-stumping moments. One thing is sure: as the mom of a pre-teen, you will be caught off-guard. These talks have made us both laugh and cry, but we always feel better before a night of rest. But I know that 10-15 more minutes of her sharing with me will be just as good for her as the sleep itself. I’d love for her be drifting off into a nice, peaceful sleep. I’ve heard my share of entertaining, random facts from the day during this time. The typical time that my little one bares her soul is when she is supposed to be going to sleep. Imagine instead an unpredictable, jagged, back and forth, uphill and downhill path. It’s not an easy, slightly-winding and flat path through a beautiful forest. And it’s a difficult one for moms to help our kids manage. And this presents new, daily experiences for them - and teachable moments for us as moms.īeing stuck in the middle is a difficult phase. They are thrown into interactions with others they may not choose or want to be around. But, believe me, as they get older, the conversations become more interesting everyday, especially in the pre-teen years. Younger children usually share about their day at school pretty easily. If you’re a girl, you’re probably playing with make-up, but Barbies are only sometimes “cool.” Better yet, try being the mom of a pre-teen! But you also like “cool” stuff like celebrities, pop music, YouTube, and iPhones. You still like kids’ toys, playing outside with your friends, building on MineCraft, and watching the Disney Channel. Think being a teenager is hard? Try being a pre-teen.
