Child psychotherapist and podcaster Dr Joanna Fortune and ieParenting editor Irene Feighan discuss the tween years and the importance of negotiation as your child goes through a range of changes.
Dr Joanna Fortune believes we should focus more on the tween years because it is a significant stage of growth as the child’s relationship with the outside world starts to become more important. Negotiation and compromise are key during this stage and are skills that will come into play more in the teen years.
Dr Fortune says the tween years are a great time to get to know your child as they work out their personal views and values. She shares tips on how to talk to tweens about more serious topics such as consent, respect and sexual curiosity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
