In this episode, Pastor Zach tackles the growing concern of middle schoolers disengaging from traditional education and the potential consequences of this trend. Drawing from a recent article in The Atlantic, he explores how many students are in "passenger mode," going through the motions of school without feeling engaged or connected to their learning. Pastor Zach extends this conversation into the church setting, emphasizing the importance of rethinking how we teach and disciple the next generation. How can we help middle schoolers find purpose in their faith and avoid the trap of apathy?

Some of my favorite ages to work with are middle schoolers, anywhere from 10-14 years old. Some may say those ages are some of the most challenging, but I really like that age group for so many reasons. I love to help them find their passion and excitement, and to watch them build an inner foundation for themselves and a personal belief that they know who they are, and begin to believe that they can do hard things. In this episode, I'm exploring the different developmental ages and stages during this period of kids' lives and some of my best tips and strategies for working with them effectively. From emotional development, friendship, trust, and self-reflection to skill-building, I hope this episode will help you feel excited about working with this age group, too.

This week's episode is packed with insights and practical advice for navigating the complexities of parenting during the middle school years. I'm joined by Courtney DeFeo, and together we dive into balancing love, independence, and the continuous learning process of parenting.Here are four key takeaways from this episode:Parenting evolves as children grow, and middle school years often require creative ways to re-engage with your kids.  Allowing children to experience failure helps them develop responsibility and confidence.  Overparenting can hinder independence—parents should guide their children through problems, not shield them from them.  Self-care for parents is crucial to maintaining balance and avoiding guilt in the parenting journey.  Courtney DeFeo is the host of the Pardon the Mess podcast here on the Christian Parenting Podcast Network where she encourages parents every week to be the imperfectly perfect parent God created them to be. She is also an author, speaker, and advocate for empowering parents to create lasting family connections. With her relatable approach and passion for practical parenting, Courtney inspires families to navigate challenges with grace and joy. We had a ton of fun recording this episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!(01:57) Navigating Parenting Stages(06:10) Engaging with Middle Schoolers(10:07) The Balance of Hovering and Letting Go(13:57) Preparing for Independence(18:02) Overparenting: Understanding the Roots(21:06) Navigating the Challenges of Letting Go in Parenting(24:35) The Importance of Self-Care and Mom Guilt(26:54) Recognizing Red Flags in Parenting Dynamics(28:54) Practical Strategies to Avoid Over-Parenting(31:37) Embracing Independence and Building Confidence in Kids(34:49) The Balance of Love and Guidance in ParentingConnect with CourtneyPardon the Mess podcastPardon the Mess InstagramCourtney's Instagram Courtney's websiteResources MentionedWhat's In Mommy's Tummy?Family Meeting GuideIn This House We Will GiggleThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Today, The Two Mikes welcomed back Chad Stewart, the author of the Britfield series of novels -- and soon movies -- for middle-schoolers. Mr. Stewart reported that the fourth book in his series -- titled Britfield and the Eastern Empire -- will be published in 2025, just as the lead characters -- Tom and Sarah -- reach age 15 and are learning the pros and cons of modernity as they are found in such things as AI and digital currencies. The first installment of seven Britfield movies also is scheduled to go into pre-production in November, 2026. Mr. Stewart noted that the movie will be set in the Christmas season. Mr. Stewart also said that the first three books in the series continue to do very well, and began to be published in Britain in June 2024.

Welcome to the fourth episode of Season 5 of the WAB podcast. In this episode, Grade 7 student Karina and Grade 8 student Sam shared their experiences learning science in Middle School, shedding light on how they are challenged and the support they receive. Middle School science teachers Kamil Rudolf and Greg Brown emphasized the exploratory and personalized approach to science learning at WAB and shared some tips on how parents can support their middle school scientists.  Kamil used an example from the study of the solar system to illustrate the hands-on learning approach. Students engage in activities such as simulating nebula clouds using various materials and constructing models of comet and asteroid bombardment. In the unit of space exploration, students select a celestial object within the solar system for further investigation based on their own interests. This exemplifies the personalized learning experience fostered at WAB.  Personalized learning is also evident in the Science Showcase. Grade 7 student Karina expressed the freedom students have to choose their topics. She is considering a project related to cigarettes for the showcase, driven by her curiosity about the effects of smoking on the human body.  Grade 8 student Sam highlighted the diverse learning opportunities at WAB, noting the flexibility to work independently, in groups, or under teacher guidance. He appreciates the autonomy granted to students, allowing them to pursue independent research while receiving tailored support from teachers.  Discussing parental involvement in their children's science education, both Kamil and Greg advocated for engaging in dinner-table conversations to inquire about their children's learning experiences. They also recommended that parents explore the library, and find the many wonderful books on diverse scientific topics, renowned scientists, and their inspiring narratives. Take your child to the library borrow some books, and use these resources to inspire interesting conversations about science.  Greg emphasized that learning science at WAB is not just about learning the knowledge, but also learning the scientific method and how to think as a scientist. This will best prepare students for High School studies and future scientific endeavors. In this way, students recognize that "science is occurring all around them at all times, not just within our classroom, within our lab." They are also equipped with skills to navigate scientific inquiries effectively when facing real-life scientific issues.   If you want to learn more about how our learners explore science at WAB Middle School, don't miss out on this episode.

Mr. Stewart also said that the first three books in the series continue to do very well, and began to be published in Britain in June 2024. 

The books also are being translated and published in Polish; the first volume is already in book shops. Other foreign publishers are planning to publish the books in additional languages.  Mr. Stewart said that the first three volumes of the series continue to sell well and are being used by teachers in an increasing number of schools -- now numbering in the thousands -- in the United States. Just as important, Mr. Stewart said that he continues to receive letters from parents explaining how much their middle-schoolers enjoy the books and how much they learn from them. 

Often, the parents also say how much they enjoyed the books. Mr. Stewart noted that he and his crew love hearing this kind of thing because the Britfield series is meant to provide a positive experience for children and families to help counteract many of the current books for youngsters which often feature negativity, poor conduct, and leave the child disconnected from reality, feeling less than what he or she is because of a lack of superpowers or some other non-existent attribute, and often poison young minds with cultism or other deranged ideas.      The websites for Mr. Stewart's Britfield projects are: https://www.britfield.com/ and https://www.britfieldinstitute.org/Follow Two Mikes on Pikcax: https://pickax.com/twomikesFollow Freedom First Network on Pickax at https://pickax.com/freedomfirstnetElevate your meals with Freedom First Beef… even if you find yourself in the middle of the apocalypse!

South Korea is going through an erase all faces panic. Every single selfie is being wiped from the internet just in case. As a response - a male college student wrote on a forum -  “Put a finger down and ask yourself  Have I ever been asked out or confessed to? (Joke confessions do not count)  Do a lot of men try to talk to me even though I don't talk to them first? Have I ever looked into the mirror and resented my parents? Can other people recognize me without makeup? Do I weigh more than 145 pounds? Do I frequent feminist online forums? When I walk on the street, do children avoid me?

My friend Douglas Haddad is here this week to chat about all things middle school, with a focus on encouraging discouraged learners.   Douglas has been teaching for over 24 years (at ONE school!), and I love his commitment to his students. Douglas shares what he's seen changing during that period, like higher anxiety & social media misuse, and what's stayed the same, like a child's need to feel loved, heard, and understood.    Douglas shares his wisdom on keeping middle schoolers encouraged & engaged: making sure they understand the systems in place around them, how we can help when our kid isn't connecting with a teacher, collaborating on family agreements, and helping our tweens grow their tolerance for discomfort.   Takeaways from the show What's different between middle school today & when you were a tween?  “Loved, heard, and understood”  What does discouragement look like in the classroom?  Wait Until 8th Pledge  Does your child know & understand the systems in place around them?  How to help foster connection between your child & their teachers  Family contracts, charters, agreements, & meetings  Being available without an agenda or judgment  Setting & celebrating small goals  Scaffolding for our kiddos to grow their tolerance for discomfort For more show notes, including transcripts, visit our website here.
