All things preteen all the time
Here’s our list…sure to be added to as the kids grow older. Phones, laptops, e-mail, and Facebook accounts will be checked as needed. The kids know that we need to have their passwords. My girls are 14 and 11. Both have had phones since 11/12. We have many conversations about phones, texting, sexting, e-mail,...

My tween was reluctant to join Yoursphere.com at first. She felt that I was requiring her to do something. You know in the same way that I require her to do homework…clarinet practice…shower. I’m mean that way. I assured that her that Yoursphere was fun. She didn’t believe me! Her older sister told her...

I am not a reporter, but I sometimes get to pretend to be one. My tween and teen were invited to the National Tween Summit in D.C. in October. I tagged along with them.
