My latest book,
The Motivated Middle Schooler
provides insight to every step of the process.
Inside, I'll share how I guide my clients through three stages to help their middle school child achieve success.
I'll also share how 3 families were able to implement these methods to help their family live more harmoniously.
The book also includes self-assessments, reflection questions, and many examples for how parents can keep their relationship with their children strong as they journey through this difficult life stage.
And, if you follow the basic principles of this book,
The Motivated Middle Schooler
can become your introductory guide for beginning to understand, connect with your child, and develop key family systems.
I have tested and proven the method and strategies you’re about to learn with over 1500 parents and over 2000 children.
I’ve never shared many of the coaching methods and examples I have used anywhere else. You’ll only find them in this 71 page eBook,
The Motivated Middle Schooler
How when kids feel connected and heard, then they have a better chance of
escaping mental health trauma.
How to help you begin to see how to work with your child and to help motivate
them in middle school.
Case studies with the hope you might be able to identify with one of them to see
how they worked as a family and were able to connect, motivate and to not lose
their child during this adolescent stage.
The three problems of motivating middle schoolers.
How to understand the six human needs that we all have and that shape our
behaviors (good and bad),which will help you with all your relationships.
Three stages for helping you motivate your middle schooler: 1) to understand them,
2) communicate with them, and 3) to set up some key family systems.
Ways that you can monitor your own growth and what your family’s needs are.
There isn’t one cookie cutter formula, even for the same family because each kid
and child is different and their needs are different.
That the parenting formula is iterative. It changes and the things that shape it have
to do with the conversations we have with our children.
And how through answering the reflection questions you'll get so much more...
need to help understand, connect with, develop structures and thus, motivate you
kid!
The Motivated Middle Schooler
Hi, I'm Erin Hansen
Certified Coach, Speaker, Educator and Author
After teaching Middle School students for over 25 years and hearing the same complaints from parents, I decided to write this book.
I found that through helping my clients UNDERSTAND, CONNECT, and then DEVELOP KEY FAMILY SYSTEMS - their world with their pre-teen/teenager became more calm.
We are all striving to figure out how we can make this world a better place and fulfill our life's purpose. Honestly, this is my way to try to help as many people as I can... or at least let people know that I am here to help.
I have a calling to fulfill my purpose and perhaps this little book reaches you, someone I may not have ever had the ability to touch if I stayed in my little Southern California circle, or if I stayed just helping the same groups of people.
But.... this isn't about me... it's about YOU and YOUR FAMILY.
There's too much going on in this world for our kids to handle alone and with their peers, as parents, we need to stay connected... so we don't lose them. In the book, I share with you a deeper why, something I desperately intend to help cure.
Just by reading this, I know you are an amazing parent - you are taking the first step in trying to figure out this awkward stage your child is in.
Hopefully from reading this short book, you are given some light and understanding to help you through the challenges.
Hopefully from reading this book, you see that you are not alone.
I wrote this for you... in my own voice (yes, I wanted it to sound like I am talking to you)... so you know I'm here for you. I threw out all the "stuff" I should be writing in this bio and am giving you "me".
I hope it helps. I'm here for you.
