Trying to deal with the “tween” years
Mar 12th, 2007 by justsimplyholly
You know, I know how my daughter feels, I remember being her age very well. She’s “too big” for little girl stuff and “too little” for teenager stuff. It’s a rough stage in life to be in and my heart really goes out to her!
I’ve tried to sit and talk to her about things she should and shouldn’t do while going through this stage. Ladies, I KNOW you know what I’m talking about, those “things” girls do to make themselves look more mature? **hint**hint** (socks) I caught her doing it again tonight. I know why she does it, but I’ve explained over and over again how mortified she’s going to be when it is discovered that she’s doing this, but I just don’t think she understands. She’s 11 years old and in Jr. High School, she wants to be like her peers, even though some of them are 2 or more years older.
**SIGH** I guess I’m just going to have to gently keep reminding her, then be there to pick up the pieces when “it” happens, or hope and pray that it doesn’t. So tell me mom’s with daughters, what have you done to help get your little girl through this horrible stage without permanently embarrassing themselves? Can ya share some tips with a rookie? PLEASE!!!!
