[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is. And the secret here is that high school students need a strong parental presence on the home front so they stay on track and don't spiral out of control emotionally. Modern high school is a slog, lots of ups and downs for them. Even if they are good, solid students. This doesn't mean you're overbearing as the parent, it simply means you are emotionally available and are able to be present in real time. You can give them your 100 percent undivided. I can't tell you how important it is with teens age 14-18. It makes an enormous difference if you can be in the moment instead of writing your next work email in your head while they talk.[/quote] You need a parent home during school hours?
