[quote=Anonymous]Are you mostly asking about academics? I can’t really tell. If so, my main advice would be to follow grades/schoolwork closely at this age (in the parent app). Not necessarily because you are expecting straight A’s- more to monitor any missing assignments, organizational skills, and the “why” of a low grade on something. A lot of kids this age still need that follow up, and better to set your standards now (before high school) when the stakes are lower. Other than that, I found the middle school years “tough at times but overall ok” for both of my sons (I have two teen DS in high school). The middle school years have a lot of challenges for most parents and kids- tough age. [/quote]
