Growing Up Game Plan: The Podcast
Welcome to Growing Up Game Plan: The Podcast. Growing Up Game Plan is a six week online masterclass for preteens on being more confident, more prepared and less stressed as they navigate life. We created this podcast to support you parents to do the same. You're in the right place if you want to understand what preteens struggle with, you want to be proactive and stay one step ahead of teen angst, you want to have (or keep having) meaningful conversations with your preteen about growing up, and you’re looking for concrete, easy-to-implement tips on what to say and do. We don’t have all the answers, but we want to support you in all of these goals. Parenting preteens is no joke and sometimes you just gotta call in for back up. That’s us! So let’s do this.
