Phyllis Fagell, Middle School Mattters (007)

In December’s PrepTalks, Ned sits down with Phyllis Fagell, school counselor, therapist, Washington Post contributor, and author of Middle School Matters. Ned and Phyllis talk about how the middle school years offers parents the low-stakes, high-reward opportunity to build confidence, character, and resilience and to teach kids the critical skills they’ll need to thrive in the years to come.   Follow Ned on Twitter at @nedjohnson and Phyllis at @pfagell.
