FAN Presents:
The Ups & Downs of Middle School Peer Relationships
During the years between 5th and 8th grades, peers become increasingly
important to our children. This program will address the challenges that
changing peer relations present for children and their parents. Tom Bass,

and answer questions about boys’ peer groups. Debra McGowan, M.A., M.S.,

questions parents may have about key issues regarding middle school peer
relations, including:
- The need for separation and connection
- The need for structured and unstructured social experiences
- The need for freedom and boundaries
- The hidden benefits of anxiety & longing
