Your Tween Daughter Doesn't Need a Friend. She Needs a Leader.
One moment she's your sweet girl. The next? She's slamming doors and rolling her eyes like you're the enemy. But here's what I know: she's not broken, and neither are you. Her brain is under construction, her world is exploding, and she needs you to be the calm in her storm - not another person freaking out.
I don't sugarcoat and I don't shame. I give you the exact tools to lead your daughter through these years with calm confidence. You're not her friend. You're her parent. And that's exactly what she needs.
I'm Sarah.
Your Guide Through the Tween Chaos
I've coached thousands of moms through the door slams, the friend drama, and the "I hate you" moments. And here's what I've learned: You don't need to be perfect. You don't need to negotiate everything. You need to be bigger, stronger, wiser, and kind.
The tween years aren't just "little kid problems" or "teen drama." They're something entirely different - and they require a different playbook. One that combines empathy with leadership. Boundaries with connection. Calm with confidence.
FINALLY, A ROADMAP FOR THE FORGOTTEN YEARS
Why Girls Aged 8–12 Need Different Tools
She's caught between childhood and adolescence, and traditional parenting advice doesn't work anymore. Gentle parenting gets twisted into permissiveness. Authoritarian approaches create rebellion. You need something that actually works.
Her Brain Is Rebuilding
That prefrontal cortex? It's under major construction. She literally can't always control her emotions or think through consequences. Understanding this changes everything about how you respond.
Girl-Specific Challenges
Mean girls, body image, social media pressure - these hit different with girls. You need exact scripts and strategies designed for the unique social world your daughter navigates.
Leadership, Not Control
This isn't about being harsh or being a pushover. It's about calm, assertive energy that makes her feel safe even when she's pushing every boundary you set.
