Episode Synopsis

Middle childhood (between toddlerhood and the teenage years) often gets overlooked. But for kids ages 6-12, the pressures of adolescence are arriving earlier. Puberty is happening earlier, social media has led to emotional turbulence, and kids today are facing different challenges than the previous generation.
