What if instead of numbing their minds with screens and giving into what society says is “normal”, we encouraged them to grow more into who they were created to be through hands-on experiences and letting them craft, build, and imagine. What if we gave them tools to explore their giftings and callings? Childhood doesn’t end at this stage- it evolves, and with space, support, and creativity, these years can be some of the most amazing yet. They’re learning, growing, and discovering who they are-and we get to be a part of it all. If you’ve parented through the preteen years- share your wisdom in the comments. What were the most meaningful things you did to encourage connection, creativity, and preserving their childhood during those years?
