[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 7th grader and 6th grader too.  I am not doing anything at all for college. They go to school, they get rewarded for A's. We (normally) go to the library once a week. We talk about stuff going on in the world at dinner.  They do stuff for fun. They do stuff to make the world a better place.

I refuse to stress my kids out about college at this point.  [/quote]

This is good advice.  And, if they enjoy sports, let them play.  For the first few years of HS, I would do a silent eye roll when my DD would talk about playing volleyball in college; thought it was a dumb reason to pick a school.  She is a junior now, and while her travel season and college visits got canceled due to Covid-19, she was already in discussions with elite LACs who are recruiting her.  She has always been a good, solid student.   I would never stress her or her twin brother out in MS with trying to prep for college.  Had I encountered any parents like that, it would be difficult for me not to be critical. I think you should let your kids enjoy middle school and focus on college in HS.  [/quote]
