Guiding Preteens Through Change: Practical Communication for Parents with Marcus Higgs [68]
In this episode, we sit down with Marcus Aurelius Higgs, a communication coach for parents of preteens (ages 10-14). Marcus helps parents strengthen their relationship with their children during these crucial formative years. Through his “SHOW UP Framework,” Marcus provides parents with practical tools to foster a strong identity, open communication, and a collaborative, growth-centered family dynamic.
During our conversation, Marcus dives deep into the developmental changes that occur during the preteen years, highlighting why many parents find this stage challenging. He explains the three main stress points preteens face: identity building, mistrust, and emotional regulation, and how parents can best support their children through these challenges.
We also explore the role of peers, community, and technology in shaping a child's identity and discuss actionable steps parents can take to build resilience and encourage their child’s independence while maintaining a strong connection.
Whether you’re navigating the preteen stage now or preparing for it, this episode offers valuable advice on how to guide your child through these transformative years with confidence and compassion.
