CMHO - Navigating the Middle Years with Self Control

The Middle Years Resource Guide was created by Child Development Institute as a “snapshot” to help parents and caregivers better understand the changing lives of their 6 – 12-year-olds and some of the challenges they may be facing during this critical developmental stage. Though certainly not exhaustive, this brief guide highlights the importance of the middle years, self-control and red flags for early intervention. It provides parents with helpful tips for supporting their children and dealing with problem behaviours within the home. It also contains useful information and links to services and community resources offered in the City of Toronto, including the SNAP® program.
