[quote=Anonymous]Mother of a college freshman. She went through a middle school and had a period of time where she was just unhappy all the time. She started a new school which she really liked, but it was academically more demanding and she had to work harder to get decent grades. This made her very sad at home during homework time - best part is, the new school drastically limited homework so she actually spent less time on it. Standards were higher and work was harder. Once we came through that, I would say things were normal. She is often ready to do things that I am not ready for her to do, but that’s a me problem. Her school had an excellent college counseling program so they helped relieve a lot of the stress and conflict from that period of time. She wanted to learn to drive and we wanted her to be driving. So that really wasn’t a flashpoint. [/quote]
