Kids Matter
Awkward thirteen
by Michael Grose
Thirteen is a pivotal age. It has been described as an age of rebirth where the teen takes over from the child.
This age group often needs a lot of support and responds well to confident, firm parenting. Your 13-year-old needs a mix of understanding, guidance, boundaries and nurturing to help them navigate this potentially tricky time in their lives. They need to be able to depend on you to be there for them, just as when they were an infant.
