Are you raising a middle schooler? Or are you almost at that point...then this episode is for you. How did a Stanford trained lawyer turned therapist create an online community of over 60K followers and a page that attracts 6.5 million monthly views in just a few short months? Meet Bridget KerMorris, the voice behind @bridget.parentcoach on Instagram and the creator of Steady + Connected Parenting, a trauma-informed, emotionally fluent framework designed to help parents navigate the middle school years with more steadiness and deeper connection.

This episode isn't going to tell you what time to put your middle schooler to bed (I know sometimes we all just want a quick answer) but will rather teach how to build a steady relationship with your child(ren) based on values that will inform all of your rules, boundaries etc.

It's not surprising that Bridget's brilliant carousel frameworks have captured the attention of parents. Bridget provides language, phrases, and answers to so many of our questions. Through her free resources Bridget also provides actual phrases for kids that they can use (it doesn't feel like Mom said it) while navigating different social situations.

In this episode we cover:

*What it looks like to go viral and have so much growth in a short period of time

*The 2 most important questions every middle schooler is asking

*Repair + Connection = longterm relationships with our children (we want them to want to be around us)

*What does steady parenting look like & how do we know if we are doing it

And so much more...Bridget offers incredible free resources (along with her detail filled Insta):
