12yo Preteen Model



Dear Girl is a 31-day devotion for girls in their preteen and teen years. Each daily devotion covers an important topic like dating, church, gossip, self-image, friendship, and more. The devotions are written by women who have walked through these seasons and long to help teen girls grow in their love for Jesus in this formative time. We pray this devotion is a helpful resource for girls who are new to their faith or want to grow more in their understanding of how God's Word affects life choices.

We need to have abortion access, so that patients like her and other people have access to the health care that they need. Tragically, this is not uncommon. This is not an unusual circumstance. All of us who provide abortion care have stories like this one, where a preteen victim was sent to us for abortion services because of impregnation because of rape.


You are your child's first and best role model, and he (or she) looks to you for what it means to be an adult. Children model their communication on yours, so do your best to listen and not interrupt or insult your tween. One of the greatest gifts you can give is to show your children what respect looks like. Even when you're hit with disrespectful tween attitude, try to be calm and remind your tween that rude behavior is not acceptable. You might also remind him that you are human too, and you can also have hurt feelings.


Parenting tweens is not easy, but do your best to model clear, calm communication. This tween phase won't last forever. Be patient and remember that you're teaching your child the skills he needs to be independent and responsible.


Hi there....not sure what I am looking for, maybe it is just to vent my frustrations, so thank you for being my sounding board. I have 2 boys, 11 and 8...both are polar opposite, the older has been a handful from day one and the younger has never been like that. I embrace the differences, but my oldest knows what buttons to push and he pushes them frequently. He is also and extremely sensitive boy...takes everything to heart...internalizes his feelings, does not let us know something is bothering him and that's when we (my wife and I) get the backlash. Last night it all came to a head. He had a great group of friends and they all recently got phones. We have decided to wait until his birthday (sept 1) to get him his phone. He will be going into middle school and we thought at this point it would be good for him (and us) to have a form of communication. Well, since his friends all have phones now, they turned on him, are making fun of him and are just generally being mean. We try to explain that friends will come and go, that kids will be mean, that if they treat you like that for not having a phone then they weren't your friend to begin with. We try to say all the right things, but he's 11 and lets face it, when you are 11, friends are very important. So, back to last night....he was at a sleep over the night before and I know he does not do well with little sleep so this was a factor...also with the stress of needing to work on a summer school project coupled with his lack of sleep was a perfect storm. My wife was trying to help him with his project and he literally exploded. Lunged at my wife, wife had to push him away, he kept coming, she pushed him again, he kept coming, she had to push him down and restrain him...this was all happening when I was working in the basement and also happened in front of my 8 year old which really scared him. I came into the room to a firestorm of screaming/crying and general mayhem...I then restrained my son, and was so angry that he would actually try to hit/hurt my wife, his mother and I got in his face and in started screaming at him. This I know scared him and intimidated him, but I did not know how to handle this child that was full of rage. We sent him to his room, consoled our youngest son and all took a step back to regroup. Through all of this, we told him that getting his phone was "off the table", which then made the situation worse because the phone was his key to getting his friends back (which we know that is not the case, but you cant rationalize with an angry preteen. 2ff7e9595c
