[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if our sons are in the same school because you are describing my son and he's also in the 7th grade. It's sad to me but I guess it's part of their maturity.[/quote] What’s sad about it? It takes a lot of energy for kids to be social at school and busy with sports and extracurricular after school (which are also social.) Even our extroverted DD(13) dials it back much of the rest of the time. I’m just grateful my kid is self-regulating rather than exhausting herself of falling into the FOMO trap. Middle school friendships are often very in-the-moment and based on companionship while doing other things (a sport, sitting together in a particular class.) The deeper parts of friendship will come later. [/quote]
