One of the parents at my center sent me an article by Deborah Farmer Kris titled: "Your middle school child is the most amazing person." I loved this author's perspective on middle schoolers and wanted to give a play therapy perspective.   The author makes four points in the article that I add play therapy-based insight on:  
  • Middle schoolers are a jumble of contradictions
  • Let your face light up
  • Don't take their outbursts personally
  • Remember that your child is listening
