[quote=Anonymous][quote]I discourage my middle schooler from socializing too much. She'd socialize all the time if I let her. I don't let her do sleepovers because she gets too tired, and I don't let her hang out with friends after school. She has a lot of homework, and I prefer she hang out with our family for the moment. She has the rest of her life to socialize. [/quote] It is developmentally appropriate for a middle schooler to want to socialize more with friends than hanging out with her family all the time. You're not doing your daughter any favors restricting her this way. [/quote]
