Description

Middle school is one of the most socially complicated times in a child’s life, identities are being formed, friendships are shifting, and kids are trying to carve out their place. Hi, I’m Karen Brisport, a former school counselor, and in this episode, I’ll share four practical strategies to help children not just ‘fit in,’ but genuinely thrive. 

 You’ll find out why making early connections is essential for establishing lasting friendships, how stepping into visible roles in the classroom builds confidence, why joining clubs helps kids discover belonging, and how sports encourage resilience and teamwork. 

 Whether you’re a parent or an educator, these insights will arm you with the tools to guide middle schoolers towards positive experiences and stronger peer relationships.
