[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for the input.  We do have her in a ton of activities because we like to keep her busy and active.  The grandparents accuse us of over-scheduling her, but we think it's good to be busy!

Compared to when I grew up in the late 1970s and 1980's, I feel like there is too much screen time when kids are not kept busy.[/quote]

So you don't like screen time but you give your 12yr old an iPhone and have no limits on it as well as no clue about the password and access.  And instead of placing limits on her, you over-schedule her in various activities thinking it will keep her out of trouble.  You sound like 99% of the DC metro population.

By the way, girls get pregnant in middle school.  There was 2 last year in my DD's school.  So a boyfriend in 6th grade and you not knowing it, should be a major concern.  I am not saying to jump all over her but you are obviously oblivious with what is going on in your child's life.

Hope you have had the birds and the bees talk.  Kids saying I love you in 6th grade aren't just hand-holding.
