Navigating through adolescence can require concerted effort and resilience. One of the biggest challenges for our tweens today is dealing with peer pressure, which can come in a variety of forms. Whether it’s the temptation to participate in risky behavior or succumbing to negative influences from peers, tackling peer pressure head-on is an essential life skill that must be mastered during this stage in life. In this blog post we will discuss a couple of strategies and tactics on how you as a parent can help your Tween understand and manage their relationships with peers in a positive manner while dealing with issues of peer pressure responsibly.
As tweens, it can be hard to know how to cope with the pressures of growing up and navigating a world that's constantly changing. Kids between 7 and 12 are faced with an array of challenges — from physical changes, academic pressure to social pressure — which can all be a bit overwhelming.
We as parents have an important role in helping our tweens manage these pressures. Here are five tips for parents we hope can help you in supporting your tween/s during this difficult period of transition:
As parents, we want the best for our children. We want them to have healthy habits, learn from their mistakes but also understand that the words they say carries weight, have power and cause harm. That is why our Truthful lips is so much more than a convenient, versatile and healthy lip balm. We called it Truthful lips to serve as your tweens daily reminder that whatever comes over your lips should be truthful!
The beginning of the school year comes with its own set of challenges, especially for tweens. Your child might find themselves in a new schools or class, trying to make new friends, or taking on a new challenge. Whether this comes easy or is difficult for your child, it’s important to remind them to be kind and understanding towards others, as they navigate through these challenges in their own way. We want to encourage your Tween to use this time to spread kindness and remove the circle completely by being inclusive of everyone.
