Answering your questions

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Did I miss my chance?” — you’re not alone.

Maybe your child is already a tween or teen.
Maybe they’re nearing the end of middle childhood.
Maybe they’re struggling with anxiety, low confidence, or starting to pull away — and you’re realizing just how much happens during those “crucial years.”

It’s a common fear, especially for parents who are just now learning how important the ages 6 to 12 really are. But what I want you to know is this: it’s never too late to show up differently.

In fact, I call these the opportunity years — because kids this age are still open, still listening, and still looking to you to help them shape how they see themselves and the world around them. Even at 12, your child is well within this window of development.

In this week’s video, I’m answering one of the most frequently asked questions I get:

What do I do if I missed the middle childhood window?

I talk about how to repair tears in your relationship, what to do if you feel like you’ve missed your moment, and why even small shifts in parenting can still make a lasting impact. There is always time to reconnect, reframe, and repair.

Coming up!

Next week, we’re diving into the topic of video games and screen time. After that, we’ll talk about over scheduling — and how to help kids (and parents!) avoid burnout.
