[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the 6th grade to 10th grade camp. Agree with lots of PP who say that those are by far the most difficult years emotionally for most kids as they start navigating social life, changing bodies, kids getting sexual, certain friends having access to social media, etc. I have heard from 10+ people in their 50s that this was the window that their kid needed them the most, by far. And they felt that their physical presence -- as the driver of the car (when kids shockingly open up as they aren't face-to-face with you), the homework tester, the day off companion, etc. -- was critical important to their child. My kids are just entering this phase, but I have known three 100% career-driven women who reached ages 45-48 / twenty years in the workforce and decided to slow down during the middle school and early high school years, mainly because of a fear of the increasing mental health issues, social media / video game isolation, etc. [/quote]
