Conference scheduled for moms, their rising middle school daughters
Michelle Icard, a Charlotte mom of two and expert in the harrowing middle school years, has regularly hosted the conferences in the Charlotte area. She'd love to do the same in the Triangle.
Posted — UpdatedComing from me, a mom of a tween who is a year away from middle school, it's a fascinating book that details the brains, lives and goings ons of middle schoolers.
Icard writes that these years might not be a breeze, but that they really don't have to be harrowing, especially if you follow her recommendations on how to communicate and relate to your middle schoolers. Anyway, it's a great book with a lot of good information. It made me less nervous about what's to come, which is saying a lot!
I am going to have much more from Icard and her book next Monday. She has developed a curriculum for middle school boys and girls, which has been used in schools around the country. She holds summer camps for middle schoolers in the Charlotte area. And she speaks to parent, teacher and community groups.
