Summary
Sometimes friendship can be tricky—especially for kids, and *especially* for those making the big transition to middle school. This week, Laura's talking about this season of parenting, and she shares tangible ways to help a kid going through so many changes find their footing and their people. It can be a hard time for everyone, but just remember: you're all going to make mistakes, and that's okay. As a parent, just try and be a loving support to your kid. That's huge during this season, tbh.
