[quote=Anonymous]Each stage has its benefits and drawbacks. There were many things I loved about elementary ages--but I also dreaded managing homework and the level of involvement needed to help them complete basic tasks. That paid off, though, and now I have teenagers who are happy to pitch in and are pretty independent with their schoolwork and in other ways. The problems teens have tend to be higher stakes, so that's the tradeoff. It may sound trite, but try to find the good things about where you and your kids are right now. Once that stage is over, it's gone forever. You'll have wonderful things and challenging things about the next stage too, it's just a matter of trying to appreciate where you are when you're there.[/quote]
