Week of 12:

Raising Capable, Confident Kids

The Week of 12 isn’t just a challenge—it’s a turning point. This approach builds the skills, confidence, and responsibility kids need to manage real-life tasks by age twelve. With a clear framework, it helps parents balance daily demands while raising resilient, capable kids ready to lead and contribute.

Flexible by design, it can unfold over years or as a focused challenge—culminating in the week before their 12th birthday, when they take the lead and prove they’re ready for real-life responsibilities.
