Create Teachable Moments when you can.  Use this #digitaldialogue to help your tween reflect on how they’d like to see their independence grow and what they need to learn to achieve that goal!

Ask your child to reflect on the last few months – Can they name some ways that they’ve matured? Can they think of some new skills that they have learned? Share with your tween the growth and development you have noticed. What about in their online life? Are there any new privileges that you each see on the horizon for them? Talk about any new skills they think they need to learn. Think about how you might each actively measure success and growth. What will you and your tween do if either of you realizes some more practice is needed?
