2. http://www.pbs.org/parents/itsmylife/resources/middleschool.html
3. This site is different in that it offers not only help for parents, but activities that will open dialogue between the middle schooler and his/her parent.
4. PBS has found a way to get the conversations rolling between the student and his/her parent. Since communication between home and school, with the child being the mediator, is key to a successful experience, I highly recommend checking this site out with your child.
