I wish all pre-teens got to have a rite of passage. Of course, those from the Jewish faith have Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s, but for the non-practicing I wish we had a similar ritual. How amazing would it be to take your pre-teen/early teen and celebrate them for the wonderful soul they have become and for this monumental moment of transitioning into adulthood. Imagine how it would feel to have their friends and family expressing pride, support and love for who they are. For giving them the nod that you believe in them and they are ready to take on new responsibility. I think it would have major impact on our kids and society. It is minor, I know, but even a family session can invoke some of that same meaning as long as the structure and theme is around the celebration of them. I would love to help with that - email me at colleendonaldson.com
