Manitoba Education and Advanced Learning is pleased to announce the online release of "My child in the Middle Years: A Parent Resource."  This resource is available at the following link:

The department created this online resource to meet an expressed need for provincial resources for parents / guardians of children in their Middle Years (grades 5 to 8) of school.  The website offers information and resources to help parents and educators understand the developmental changes and situations adolescent children may experience at school, at home, and in the community.  It also addresses questions and concerns parents of Middle Years students may have, and provides explanations and suggestions on how to handle a variety of challenging situations.
