[quote=Anonymous]I look at these experiences as making my daughters stronger. It's good to know how to stand on your own feet and to walk alone if life demands it at times. Allow your child to find her bearings with the worst of her peer group. Be her "ear" at home. Keep those communication channels open. Do not place too much important on MS and HS as the social peak of our lives. That is the mistake too many parents make. It is a phase, a specific time of our lives, but it only six years long. There is SO MUCH to come! 6-8 is very difficult. Our oldest is strong as a rock, and 6-8 even broke her down into pebbles at certain points. It was all social, not the school work. Then she found her "tribe" through a certain school activity. Now she is holding her head up as as upper high school student.[/quote]
