[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I discourage my middle schooler from socializing too much. She'd socialize all the time if I let her. I don't let her do sleepovers because she gets too tired, and I don't let her hang out with friends after school. She has a lot of homework, and I prefer she hang out with our family for the moment. [b]She has the rest of her life to socialize.[/b] OP, you child sounds fine. I would not worry. Every child is different. I think it's best for a middle-schooler to spend more time with family, and less with friends. We only have a few more years to influence them, so why not take advantage of it? In a few years they won't want to be seen in public with you. Cherish the time your child wants to spend at home. [/quote] Ignorant statement on too many levels to mention. [/quote]
