Episode 36 | April 2023 | Transition to Middle School

Making the move from elementary school to middle school can be both an exciting and unsettling time for a parent and child. In this podcast, hear ways to ease the transition by:

- understanding the developmental changes in your child,

- getting to know the middle school culture,

- encouraging independence, but remaining available, 

- offering emotional support to your child, 

- reiterating your family values and expectations, and 

- staying involved in your child’s school.

It’s not too early to start thinking about summer fun. The FCPS Tech Adventure Camp and the Career and Technical Education Camp are taking registrations for summer 2023.
