Middle school may not have been easy for many of us but for kids today while it can be fun growing up and learning, it can also be very challenging. There is socializing, cliques to fit into, over-scheduling of extra curricular activities and of course, lots to learn with big projects and homework. All of this can lead to pressure and stress. But many kids don’t know it is stress and we just think that they are moody teens.

Today’s guest Annie Fox (www.anniefox.com) is a popular author, educator, workshop presenter and online teen advisor. She spends her life working with kids this age - and parents - and is going to impart to us some of her very helpful wisdom on how to deal with all of this.  Her new book Be Confident in Who You Are, book 1 in the Middle School Confidential (Free Spirit Publishing) series, is full of terrific advice, tips and tools to help kids and parents navigate middle school.

So listen in today to hear Annie Fox help us guide our kids to be confident and make good choices ~
