The age of puberty has been trending earlier for decades, and now starts as young as 8 years old in girls and 9 in boys. Bullying doesn’t just happen on the playground, but over text and DM. Depression and anxiety are drastically on the rise. Couple earlier puberty with ill-equipped, developing brains and the onslaught of new media and stressors that never existed when we were kids, and it’s clear that parents need a new guide to raise this new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Crucial\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eYears \u003c\/em\u003eis your essential handbook to navigating the often misunderstood and overlooked years of middle childhood (ages 6–12).
