Me, Myself & I: Get Your Middle Schooler Out Of The “Me” Zone

in Parenting on 03/15/16

Our children’s middle school years are among the most stressful for them and for us moms. Could this be in part because kids at that age resist getting involved in life around the house more than ever? If you’re dealing with a sullen, unhelpful pre-teen or teen, you’re not alone. According to a study done by the University of Rochester, kids between the ages of 10 and 16 are the least likely to want to care for other people. But you can help steer your kids in a more positive direction with this insight about parenting middle schoolers.

  1. Social responsibility

    In the study, over 3,500 American teenagers were given five questions on the subject of social responsibility. All the questions began, “It’s very important to me…” Each had to do with an aspect of helping others: in school, in society, in the home, or at the national level. Children were asked to answer on a 5-point scale from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree.”

    Social responsibility means having values that “support caring for the welfare of others.” According to the results, the sense of social responsibility was found to be lower in adolescents.

  2. Support is important

    As parents, we shouldn’t give up hope, though. Researchers noticed that kids who had more support from parents, friends and teachers felt more socially responsible. According to researcher Laura Wray-Lake, supportive relationships help kids be more caring towards others.

  3. How you can help your kids

    Fostering a supportive, loving environment for your kids at home is the first step in encouraging your kids to be less self-centered. Make sure your children are also getting positive reinforcement from their teachers, coaches, mentors and friends. Promote positive values in your kids and encourage them to come to you if they face issues or problems. Your own supportiveness will teach your kids by example to be more supportive of the community around them!

Today we honor those affected and raise awareness Today we honor those affected and raise awareness about human trafficking and forced labor across the United States. 

LatinX communities are at increased risk for human trafficking. Some stats by the National Human Trafficking Hotline reveal that 77% of confirmed Latin Americans and Caribbeans are easy targets for traffickers. The remaining 23% are victims of sex trafficking or a combination of sex and labor trafficking. 

In terms of where most of these victims come from, six out of ten possible victims from Latin America and the Caribbean come from Mexico. The industry where they are most vulnerable is agriculture. 

And not only is the Latinx community at elevated risk of being targeted for human trafficking, but too often, law enforcement and immigration officials seem to miss opportunities to identify and prevent trafficking attempts. 

If this cause is close to your heart, you can learn more about identifying a victim at: dhs.gov/blue-campaign/identify-victim
