Parent Groups Work When Your Kid is Struggling
September 8, 2025
Parenting a middle schooler can feel like a part-time job in crisis management. One minute your kid is fine, the next they’re in tears because of a TikTok or a friendship fallout. Doing it all on your own? Exhausting.
That’s where parent groups come in.
Here’s Why Groups Are Different
- You realize it’s not just your kid:- When another parent says, “Mine freaked out over the same thing,” it’s like someone lifted a weight off your shoulders.
- You get practical strategies:- Instead of guessing, you hear what’s actually working for other parents. No reinventing the wheel—just real tools you can try at home.
- You become less reactive:- Groups give you regulation tools, so you’re calmer when your kid is spiraling. That changes everything in your home.
- You feel supported:- Parenting COVID kids is uncharted territory. Having a group reminds you you’re not walking it alone.
The Transformation
Parents leave these groups saying;
- "I don’t feel like such a failure anymore.”
- “I know what to say when my kid melts down.”
- “I can finally enjoy my child again without so much stress.”
The Next Step
You don’t need to white-knuckle parenting. The Middle School Parents Group is a 10-week space to get backup, learn tools, and feel steady again.
You’ve got this and now you’ll have support too.

You had the baby. Everyone is dropping off casseroles, sending “congratulations” texts, and telling you how happy you must be. And sure, there are sweet moments. But if you’re being honest? You feel nothing like yourself. You’re crying in the shower, snapping at your partner over nothing, and googling “am I a bad mom?”
