Just in case you need a few more ideas for that tween/teen girl in your life this holiday season….
These are on my girls’ lists this year (as well as a ton of their friends) so I thought I’d share.
I found the owala at Dick’s Sporting Goods and the tubing mascara on sale at Sephora but I also linked all of these in my Amazon account (link in bio)…. And I do get a tiny commission 😉
I’ll add more as I get them because I KNOW that my girls aren’t finished adding😂😂😂

But she’s not a teen yet either.
And some days, it feels like you’re both falling apart.
Middle school can break your heart as a mom, but it doesn’t have to break your connection.

🎙 In this 4-part podcast series, I walk you through what’s really going on with your daughter in middle school, and how to stay steady, supportive, and deeply connected, even through the chaos.

Middle school is one of the trickiest parts about adolescence, not only for her but for us as moms too.

Having a support network is crucial in making sure that you don’t drive yourself crazy during this time.
Check out all the supports that are available on the nurturing girls website and make sure to follow the podcast because we talk about all things related to raising girls during adolescence. You can find the link to both in the bio

When your daughter is complaining or venting about things happening with friends, it may feel small to us.
But to her, it feels huge. Why?

The part of the adolescent brain that processes emotions is hyper-sensitive. Peer rejection actually lights up her brain’s pain pathways.
So… she’s not overreacting. She’s feeling real pain.

✨ The best thing you can do?
Validate first: ‘That sounds really painful.’
Then support her in finding healthy solutions. We do this by getting curious and asking questions to help her start to activate the critical thinking skills she needs. Help her name her emotions and reinforce the coping skills she has to manage the big ones.
Be the lighthouse in her stormy seas..offer guidance when she asks and otherwise, provide her with a place that feels consistently supporting and safe.

“Validation first. Solutions second. 💗
