The Middle School Mind

Aug 22 2022 • 31 mins

We are back for season two of The Middle School Mind tween podcast and today we talk about anxiety leading up to the first day of a new school year. Son is starting 7th grade this year and we start the episode talking about our summer. We also talk about school related anxieties that can bring returning students some concerns heading back to school.

We wrap up this episode with Father asking Son some Would You Rather questions related to back to school!
