A major U.S. study finds that #preteens spending even limited time on social media score lower in reading, vocabulary & memory with bigger gaps among heavier users. Experts warn social media rewires young brains for instant reward over deep focus.

Neuroscientist breaks down why 'normal tween girl drama' deserves a lot more compassion If you’ve ever raised _tween girls_, been a tween girl yourself, or watched any shows with tweens in them, you’ll be all too familiar with tween _girl drama_. The eye rolling, the aloofness, the cattiness, the _meltdowns_…you get the idea. But what if this newfound attitude isn’t just preteen girls being difficult, but a symptom of chronic dysregulation? That was the insight recently given by Dr. Chelsey Hauge Zavaleta, who argued that most parents don’t understand that between the ages of 8 and 12, their daughter's brain is “rewiring itself while her confidence forms.” And because of that, Zavaleta explained, her “nervous system is stuck in a constant state of overwhelm.” “She will be unable to cooperate, not that she __won't__ , not that she's being bratty, refusing, defiant, rude, she __cannot__ cooperate. Her nervous system is too overwhelmed, and your task is to help her bring it down.” Zavaleta then listed the five typical “tween drama” behaviors that, when constant and persistent, could be signs of an overworked nervous system. #### 1. She can't do basic routines that she has always done before. It's not just laziness. Photo credit: Canva While it might be irksome for parents to now give reminder after reminder for something they know their daughter knows about, Dr. Zavaleta kindly offered the reminder that, “This isn't defiance. She's too dysregulated to access her thinking brain.” #### 2. She makes nasty comments during family time. It's not just sibling rivalry. Photo credit: Canva This doesn’t come from meanness so much as deep insecurity. “She's sitting there in your family, feeling judged and alone. The attention feels overwhelming when her nervous system is already maxed out,” said Zavaleta. #### 3. She doesn't care about stuff she used to care about. It's not just depression.Photo credit: Canva Contrary to what it looks like, she actually cares __so much__ that it is unbearable. To cope, she willfully disconnects. “She cares so much, it hurts, but caring feels dangerous right now. Disconnection is protection when everything feels too intense.” #### 4. She is constantly picking fights with her siblings. It's not just an attitude. Photo credit: Canva “She's looking for connection, but she only knows how to get attention through conflict. Her nervous system is seeking regulation through the friction created by drama,” Zavaleta explained. #### 5. She cries over “nothing.” It's not just a meltdown. Photo credit: Canva “Spilled milk becomes a huge meltdown,” said Zavaleta, painting a picture. Thing is, “when your system is already flooded, the smallest thing is gonna tip you right over,” she added. “Those tears aren't about the milk, they're about everything else.” When put through this lens, it’s easy to see how “these are not behavior problems to be fixed with consequences,” as Zavaleta put it. Rather, they're “regulation problems” that need co-regulation support from the parents. After all, at this age kids are still hardwired to their parents' nervous systems, making it all the more imperative for parents to model healthy regulation practices. “When you stay calm and grounded, she can access that state as well. When you are also dysregulated because parenting a dysregulated tween is hard, you're both stuck in survival mode.” > @drchelsey_parenting Join me for my LIVE webinar DECODING TWEEN GIRLS Comment TWEENGIRL for the registration link- and clear your calendars- being there live is the best thing! > ♬ original sound - Dr. Chelsey HaugeZavaleta, PhD Bottom line: when you think about all the inner “construction” going on, in addition to external factors—more and more school responsibilities, increasingly complicated friendships, a transforming body, etc.—there’s no doubt that young girls didn’t suddenly become ornery for no reason. When parents feel that a boundary needs to be made, child counselor _Katie Lear_ suggests offering a chance for “do-overs” when they catch an attitude. This helps preteens become more aware and gives them another opportunity to communicate calmly. Alternatively, parents can offer “natural consequences” that help preteens better understand cause and effect. She uses the example of not being available to drive her to a friend if you’re spending time doing the chores she fails to do. None of this makes parenting during the tween phase any easier, per se. However, it does hopefully provide insight and tools that can elicit compassion, strengthen relationships, and offer an opportunity for both parents and children to emerge from a notoriously tumultuous chapter a little more grounded.

You’re not fixing their problem; you're teaching them how to and building trust in your relationship.

Agreed, it’d take changing the US to an EU style government, totally changing everything, parliaments in all states, most power concentrated in the self funded us states, with limited power to DC.

Country wont recover.

I noticed my tween daughter kind of lurking behind me, looking at me.

I turned to her and asked, "What?"

She replied, "I'm just here being sigma."

Started this last month but got sidetracked for various reasons. Originally it was going to be just Brianna by herself trying on a new outfit for the season. But I decided to add Miracle one of her cousins on the left and Susana her fashioned minded bestie. Brianna makes a pose in front her bedroom mirror. Mircale: Tada! Presenting Brianna sporting her new winter seasonal outfit! Brianna: Thanks, cuz! Well Sue does this outfit meet your approval? Susana takes a moment to look at Brianna's outfit, walking around her while lightly stroking her chin. Finally, after a brief pause Susana: This looks fantastic! The bold fabric in top compliments the pants perfectly!

My initial start.

When I tell my preteen something surprising ("you have 15 minutes until your ride gets here"), she usually responds with, "WHAT?!".

I then have to determine whether this was surprise or sensory processing issues.
